What Is PREA And What You Need To Know About It With Jameelah Lewis
Manage episode 285877466 series 2466708
When my brother was incarcerated I never heard the word PREA. It wasn't until I started talking to people in the prison system and meeting Jameelah that I understand, now, the importance of knowing what is considered sexual assault and how to receive education and support. PREA is the Prison Rape Elimination Act that everyone should know about. It's one of those subjects that people don't talk about, however, it's a subject that we need to learn about if we want to put an end to it. It's important to learn what is considered sexual abuse, and to know there are resources available to people both outside and inside the prison system.
