Report sexual abuse
What is PREA?
The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) was created to eliminate sexual abuse in confinement. Learn more about PREA.
Like many in corrections who have embraced PREA, the leaders at Alvis have employed current best practices in community corrections to help prevent sexual abuse. For example, Alvis uses gender-responsive classifications and treatment tools, motivational interviewing techniques, and individualized case management practices to run safe facilities. By leveraging Alvis' existing policies and practices to help prevent sexual abuse and improve response when it does happen, leaders have avoided creating a PREA bureaucracy, instead establishing a nimble system that prioritizes staff training and clear policies and procedures that protect the safety and well being of clients.
If you are an Alvis client and wish to report sexual abuse, call 614-388-9903 or use our online form.
You may also call Alvis' toll-free PREA hotline, 1-844-241-2773.
