Developing a PREA-Compliant Language Access Plan for Incarcerated People Who Are Limited English Proficient

The Center on Victimization and Safety at the Vera Institute of Justice, in collaboration with the PREA Resource Center (PRC), presented a webinar to introduce a new resource on how to make PREA information and services accessible to incarcerated people who are limited English proficient. During this webinar, presenters Allison Hastings and Jannette Brickman from Vera discussed the PREA requirements, provided an overview of language access and why it matters, and walked participants through the steps in the new guide for creating PREA-compliant language access plans.
