About this file
This is a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Rider that establishes compliance requirements between the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department (SCSD) and contractors providing services. The rider mandates that all contractors comply with the SCSD's zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse and sexual harassment, as outlined in Department Policy S241. The document defines prohibited conduct to include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, derogatory sexual comments or gestures directed at inmates or detainees by other inmates or staff, and voyeurism by staff members, contractors, or volunteers. The rider applies to all contractors with contact with residents and remains in effect until contract termination.
The SCSD requires that all contractors and volunteers receive training on their responsibilities under the agency's sexual abuse and sexual harassment prevention, detection, and response policies and procedures prior to having contact with residents. The rider serves as an incorporated addendum to the underlying contract and must be signed by both the SCSD and the contractor, with authorization by the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department CFO Daniel Martini.
