National Prison Rape Reduction Coalition

The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission (NPREC), established in 2002, is an organization dedicated to ending sexual abuse and assault in prisons, jails, and detention facilities across the United States. It develops, promotes, and enforces policies and practices that protect incarcerated individuals from sexual violence. The coalition works with government agencies, facility staff, and advocacy groups to implement standards, provide training, and improve accountability. Its goal is to ensure safety, dignity, and human rights for all people in detention, effectively reducing incidents of prison rape through education, oversight, and systemic reform.
