PREA audits are conducted at the request of any federal, state, local, or private confinement facility, or any agency that oversees such a facility. A facility or agency may contact an auditor directly (the PRC maintains a directory of DOJ-certified auditors) or seek the services of an auditor through procurement announcements, advertisements, or other means.
PREA Standard 115.83(d) provides that inmate victims of sexually abusive vaginal penetration while incarcerated shall be offered pregnancy tests. PREA Standard 115.83(e) provides that victims who are pregnant as a result of such penetration shall receive timely information about, and access to, all lawful pregnancy-related medical services. In order for facilities to provide timely information and access to services, they must also provide timely testing. Timely testing shall be consistent with the community level of care, as described in PREA Standard 115.83(c).
