About this file
This is a PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) Contract Rider between the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department (SCSD) and a contractor, establishing compliance requirements with federal regulations outlined in 28 C.F.R. 115. The rider incorporates mandatory provisions into the underlying contract that remain in effect until contract termination. The SCSD has established a written zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual abuse and sexual harassment, and the contractor must comply with Department Policy S241. The rider defines sexual abuse and harassment to include unwelcome sexual advances or requests between inmates and residents, inappropriate sexual comments or gestures by staff or contractors toward detainees, and voyeurism by personnel—such as invasions of privacy unrelated to official duties, including unauthorized viewing of inmates performing bodily functions or taking images of naked inmates.
All contractors and volunteers with resident contact must receive training and be informed of their responsibilities under the SCSD's sexual abuse and sexual harassment prevention, detection, and response policies and procedures. The rider requires the contractor to acknowledge and commit to compliance through signature by authorized representatives, with designated spaces for the contractor name, authorized representative signature and printed name, title, and date of execution. No specific pricing, funding amounts, or contract term information is detailed in this compliance rider document.
