About this file
The document is a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Clearance Acknowledgement form from the Massachusetts Department of Correction (DOC), requiring volunteers and contractors to understand and agree to specific guidelines regarding sexual misconduct prevention in correctional facilities. The form, available in both English and Spanish, outlines the department's zero-tolerance policy toward sexual abuse and harassment, emphasizing that any sexual contact or misconduct between employees/volunteers/contractors and inmates is strictly forbidden and can result in disciplinary action up to termination and potential prosecution.
The acknowledgement form details specific expectations, including the legal prohibition of sexual contact in DOC facilities, definitions of sexual misconduct (which include verbal and non-verbal communications), and a mandatory reporting requirement for any observed or suspected sexual misconduct. Signatories must report such incidents to the Shift Commander, with potential disciplinary consequences for failing to do so. The document serves as a critical training and compliance document to ensure staff and contractors understand their responsibilities in maintaining a safe and professional environment within Massachusetts correctional facilities.

Volunteer and Contractor Training and Acknowledgement of Prison Rape Elimination
Act (PREA) - Attachment IV
I have been informed of and understand each of the following specific items about the PRISON RAPE ELIMINATION ACT (PREA) of 2003 listed below:
(1)
Federal law specific to incarcerated persons, the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003, requires that the Department of Correction (DOC) take steps to prevent staff-on inmate and inmate on inmate sexual contact of any type from occurring in or around DOC facilities and/or property.
(2)
The Department has zero tolerance toward all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment and is committed to preventing, detecting, and responding to such conduct as outlined in 103 DOC 519 - SEXUALLY ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION POLICY. The Department embraces the standards set forth by the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission and the American Correction Association for all state correctional jurisdictions.
(3)
State and Federal law specific to incarcerated persons forbids sexual contact of any type or kind whatsoever by an employee/volunteer or contractor in or around DOC facilities and/or property
(4)
Sexual misconduct between an employee/volunteer or contractor and an inmate is forbidden and may result in discipline up to and including termination and referring for prosecution Department employees, contractors, volunteers and inmates who engage in sexually abusive behavior. Sexual misconduct can consist of conversations, gestures, or correspondence of a sexual nature. This includes demeaning references to gender or sexual preference, or sexually suggestive or derogatory comments about body or clothing, or obscene language or gestures. Sexual misconduct also includes voyeurism which is an invasion of an inmate’s privacy by peering at an inmate in private situations outside of those required by supervisory or security policies and procedures.
(5)
I have a duty to report any sexual misconduct between an employee, volunteer or contractor and an inmate that I observe or have reason to believe occurred and must report it to the Shift Commander as required. If I fail to do so and such is proven pursuant to policy, there could be disciplinary action up to and including termination and/or criminal action.
