PREA and Culture Change

The PREA Resource Center (PRC) is thrilled to launch the first video in a new series on the positive impact of the PREA standards. Produced by the PRC in partnership with Just Detention International, the PREA and Culture Change series features currently and formerly incarcerated people and corrections staff speaking about how PREA is changing the culture of corrections—and making facilities safer for everyone.

The first video features Troy Isaac, a member of JDI’s Survivor Council who was sexually assaulted many times in youth and adult detention facilities. Troy believes that the PREA standards are essential for keeping incarcerated people safe, especially LGBT youth.
