The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is committed to establishing a zero tolerance environment against the sexual assault, sexual abuse, and sexual harassment of youth in confinement pursuant to the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The Department has worked diligently to develop and integrate a safe system of care for youth. All DJJ staff and youth are trained continuously on the importance of maintaining safe environments that are free from any type of sexual misconduct.

DJJ does not permit the physical abuse, sexual abuse or sexual harassment of youth in custody; all youth have the right to feel and be safe.  If you are made aware of information that indicates that a youth is not safe, please contact the Internal Investigations Hotline at 800-890-6854.
