What information must be included in the annual PREA report?

• A. Data on substantiated incidents, investigations, corrective actions, trends, and overall PREA program compliance, while protecting victim privacy.
• B. A summary of staff training hours and budget expenditures.
• C. Names of all staff involved in investigations.
• D. Raw video footage from all confinement areas.

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is what the PREA annual report must publicly include to show accountability and progress in preventing and addressing sexual abuse and harassment. The best answer combines the key elements PREA standards require: data on substantiated incidents, the investigations that followed, corrective actions taken, trends over time, and the agency’s overall compliance with PREA requirements. Importantly, this information must be shared in a way that protects victim privacy, meaning no identifying details are disclosed.

This is why that option is the best: it covers the specific components the annual report is meant to convey—substantiated incidents, investigations, actions, trends, and compliance—while explicitly safeguarding victim privacy. The other choices don’t fit because they focus on internal administrative data (like training hours or budgets), disclose names of staff involved in investigations, or include raw video footage, all of which are not appropriate or required content for the annual PREA report.
