The PREA Resource Center (PRC) is funded through a cooperative agreement between the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance and Impact Justice.
The mission of the PRC is to support the conduct of PREA audits in adult and juvenile confinement facilities nationwide. The PRC advances PREA audits by managing a national training, certification, and support program for DOJ-certified PREA auditors; supporting DOJ’s audit oversight efforts; and maintaining essential PREA auditing tools, such as the PREA Online Audit System (OAS), OAS Helpdesk, Audit Assignment System, and other critical audit support systems. As a national clearinghouse, the PRC provides information, guidance, and resources to PREA auditors and key stakeholders to support PREA audits and facilitate compliance with the PREA standards.
