Who We Are

Educorr provides online training for corrections professionals in local jails, juvenile detention facilities, and community corrections agencies across the United States. For more than a decade, we’ve partnered with agencies to deliver training that is practical, headache-free, and aligned with federal PREA standards.

PREA training is the cornerstone of our work. It is what Educorr was built to do — supporting corrections administrators while engaging learners in clear, high-quality instruction.

PREA Training for Jails, Juvenile Detention, and Community Corrections

What PREA Training Is Required to Address

The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) requires jails, juvenile detention facilities, and community corrections programs to provide training that addresses the prevention, detection, reporting, and response to sexual abuse and sexual harassment in confinement and custodial settings. Training must be appropriate to staff roles and responsibilities and must include instruction on inmate or resident rights, reporting obligations, retaliation protections, and professional boundaries.

PREA training requirements extend beyond sworn staff. Agencies are responsible for ensuring that contractors, volunteers, and other individuals with facility or program access receive PREA-related instruction based on their duties and level of contact with inmates or residents.

Effective PREA training supports consistent expectations across housing units, programs, and shifts, and helps staff recognize and respond appropriately to situations that may place individuals at risk.

How Online PREA Training Is Delivered

Online PREA training allows jails, juvenile facilities, and community corrections agencies to deliver consistent instruction across multiple roles, schedules, and locations. Training content can be organized into structured sections, reinforced through realistic scenarios, and accessed in ways that minimize operational disruption.

Online delivery also helps standardize messaging across staff groups, reducing variation that can occur with informal or ad hoc training methods. This consistency is particularly important in environments with shift work, part-time staff, contractors, or frequent onboarding.

Well-designed online PREA training emphasizes clarity, relevance to real-world operational settings, and respectful handling of sensitive subject matter. This training approach is applicable to adult jails, juvenile detention facilities, and community corrections programs subject to PREA standards.

Supporting Documentation and Audit Readiness

PREA standards require agencies to maintain documentation demonstrating that required training has occurred. Jails, juvenile detention facilities, and community corrections programs must be able to show who was trained, when training occurred, and what training content was provided.

Electronic training systems can assist agencies by: tracking enrollments and completions across staff groups; maintaining centralized training records; generating certificates or documentation for audits and inspections; reducing reliance on manual tracking or paper files. Organized, accessible documentation supports audit readiness and reduces administrative burden.

Who This Training Is Designed For

PREA training is designed for individuals working in or with: county and municipal jails; juvenile detention and residential youth facilities; community corrections, probation, and transitional programs.

Training audiences may include sworn and non-sworn staff, supervisors, administrators, contractors, vendors, volunteers, and service providers. Training content should reflect the responsibilities and level of contact associated with each role while maintaining consistent PREA principles across the agency or program.
