About this file
This document is a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Contract Rider establishing compliance requirements between the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department (SCSD) and contractors. The rider incorporates PREA compliance obligations into existing contracts and remains in effect until contract termination. The SCSD maintains a written zero-tolerance policy toward sexual abuse and sexual harassment, documented as Department Policy S241, which the contractor must comply with in full. The rider defines sexual abuse and sexual harassment to include repeated unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors; repeated verbal comments or gestures of a sexual nature by staff, contractors, or volunteers; and voyeurism by authorized personnel who invade inmate privacy for reasons unrelated to official duties, such as monitoring toileting or taking images of inmates' naked bodies or bodily functions.
The SCSD requires that all contractors and volunteers who have contact with residents receive training and be informed of their responsibilities under the agency's sexual abuse and sexual harassment prevention, detection, and response policies and procedures. No specific pricing terms, funding sources, or set-asides are outlined in this rider document, as it functions as a compliance addendum to broader contractor agreements rather than a standalone procurement instrument.
