The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) was signed into law (P.L.108-79) by President Bush on September 4, 2003. The goal of PREA is to eradicate sexual assaults in all "correctional" facilities in the United States. In addition to providing federal funding for research, programs, training, and technical assistance to address the issue, the legislation mandated the development of national standards. The final version of the standards was issued by the Department of Justice on May 17, 2012. PREA required the Department of Justice to issue standards outline the steps that facilities must take to address sexual misconduct prevention, detection, and response. On June 20, 2012, the Department of Justice officially published the final standards for four types of facilities: juvenile facilities, adult prisons and jails, lockups, and community confinement facilities. PREA standards include detailed: Prevention Planning, Training and Education, Screening, Reporting, responding to Misconduct, Investigations, Discipline, Medical and Mental Health Care, Data Collection and Review, and Audits.
