Which of the following is NOT a typical duty of a PREA Compliance Manager?

• A. Oversee program implementation.
• B. Train staff on PREA.
• C. Coordinate with investigators and auditors.
• D. Prepare and issue press statements about PREA findings.

Answer: (D)

A PREA Compliance Manager focuses on putting the PREA program into practice within the facility: making sure policies exist and are actually followed, training staff so they know how to handle PREA-related reporting and responses, and coordinating with investigators and auditors to verify compliance through reviews and audits. These duties are all about internal implementation, documentation, and improvement of the program.

Preparing and issuing press statements about PREA findings falls outside that internal, programmatic scope. Public statements about findings involve external communications and media relations, which are typically handled by a Public Information Officer or the Communications/Public Affairs team. They manage how information is shared with the public, ensure confidentiality and accuracy, and coordinate with external stakeholders, while the compliance manager concentrates on ensuring the PREA program operates correctly and remains compliant.
