This is a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Zero Tolerance Policy document issued by the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) that applies to all volunteers and contractors working with the agency. The policy establishes NDOC's compliance with federal standards under 42 U.S.C. 15601 et seq. and 28 C.F.R. 115.32, mandating that all contractors and volunteers be informed of the agency's zero tolerance stance regarding any form of sexual misconduct. The policy prohibits staff, contractors, and volunteers from engaging in sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual abusive contact, or consensual sexual contact involving inmates, as well as inmate-on-inmate sexual misconduct.
