Prison Rape Elimination Act

The Prison Rape Elimination Act, 2003 is a set of federal guidelines that is aimed at eliminating sexual abuse in confinement settings. As a county correctional facility we at HACTC have zero-tolerance for any acts of sexual misconduct.

We are committed to preventing, detecting, and eliminating sexual abuse & harassment within our facility. Each of our team members receive training specific to PREA standards and how to respond to a PREA incident.

If you are a friend or family member of an inmate that makes comments indicating he/she is being a victim of abuse please speak up immediately. You have multiple reporting options; call us at 776-2221 and speak to any staff member, write a letter to the organization, call the Pierce County Sheriff’s department at 776-5245. It is also important to understand that inmates housed at HACTC are provided with information regarding sexual assault, how to prevent it, and what to do if victimized. Inmates are given information on multiple ways to make a PREA report.

Check out the links on the right side of the page Just Detention and then Domestic Violence Crisis Center located in Minot, ND. We work closely with the DVCC to help inmates that have been victimized. We will also be posting our agency policies that pertain to PREA.
