Implementing and Monitoring PREA Standards with a Data System

The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) passed in 2003 was to provide for the research and analysis of the incidents of prison rape. While this is focused mostly on the adult corrections system, PREA also is monitored in juvenile detention facilities as well.

Handel has worked closely with our customers to build implementations for juvenile facilities to manage the complexities of PREA standards. Whether your facility is beginning to incorporate these tracking standards or is overwhelmed by the intricacies or find they have become burdensome, register to watch this recording exploring a RiteTrack implementation that incorporated PREA seamlessly.

PREA standards require the use of risk assessments, PREA-related questions (e.g., sexual orientation, gender identification, etc.), agency documentation, and reporting to reach the outlined goals in the initiative.

During this recording, we will demonstrate those features in RiteTrack plus the following:

  • Client intakes
  • Progress notes
  • Risk assessments
  • Medical documentation
  • Room assignments
  • Staff training documentation
  • Outside agency documentation
  • Record keeping
  • Data generation
  • PREA reporting

Handel has implemented RiteTrack software in numerous juvenile facilities, juvenile detention and juvenile treatment facilities. Register and watch this recording to see how RiteTrack assists facilities in the day-to-day operations as well as incorporating required PREA standards.

Getting the First Steps Right–Intakes and Risk Assessments

If you missed the live webcast, click here for a recording that looks at the specific intake and risk assessment functionality available in the RiteTrack juvenile justice system.

Every size of facility from 10 beds to 100 or more beds must follow the same first step when a youth arrives: completing an intake process.

Many facilities also require some type of risk assessment as part of this process.

During this recording–showcasing a system which was designed with the needs of juvenile facilities at its heart–you will see the functionality that assists juvenile organizations with intake processes no matter the size or caseload.

If intakes and risk assessments have incorrect information or are incomplete, it complicates the admission process creating extra work for staff and administrators alike.

The extensibility of the system enables organizations to complete risk assessments within the software’s interface and can generate an easily digestible summary of the assessment data.

We covered the following items:

  • Completing a new intake
  • Completing intake on a previously-admitted youth
  • Using customizable drop down menu options
  • Utilizing reporting to identify missing intake data
  • Accessing risk assessments through the interface
  • Reporting on intake and risk assessments data

An information and case management system such as this ensures data is accurately entered, easily accessible, and simply reported on.
