Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)
Workbook Instructions
As a result of VAWA 2013 and the penalty provision of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA),
states are required to certify compliance with PREA. A state that cannot certify compliance has the
option of forfeiting 5 percent (5 %) of covered funds* (95 percent of the STOP award because the
court set-aside is excluded) or executing an assurance that 5 percent (5%) of covered funds* will be
used towards coming into compliance with PREA.

Regardless of the option chosen for FY 2015, a state that elected either option 1 or option 2 in FY
2014 will receive a proportional amount of the funds forefited by states that elected option 3 in FY
2014. States that elected option 3 in FY 2014 are not eligible for any portion of the FY 2014
forefitted sums regardless of their FY 2015 election and will receive only their FY 2015 STOP
allocation less any PREA penalty. The options are prepopulated with each states FY 2015
allocation, as well as their portion of the FY 2014 forfeited funds if applicable. If you believe your
assessment is incorrect, please contact OVW as soon as possible.
