Our Conference is on!
The 7th Annual National PREA Coordinators Conference
July 29-31, 2025 in Madison, Wisconsin
Registration has closed for our conference, and the demand was outstanding! We are at capacity, and we have a waitlist.
If you received a confirmation and learn that you will not be able to attend, please reach out to Leigha Weber and Jason Effman to let us know. We have others who may be able to attend.
The loss of the PREA Resource Center will certainly impact the conference, but we have every intention of going forward. We look forward to seeing you in Madison!

Our Programs
Through conferences and other professional events, as well as open and honest dialogue with oversight and outreach entities, we advance the work of PREA Coordinators, PREA Compliance Managers, Investigators, and others who combat custodial sexual victimization.
Our Impact
From our humble beginnings in early 2019 as a working group, we have reached hundreds of practitioners through annual conferences and other outreach to help elevate sexual safety in corrections, community confinement, and juvenile facilities. Through their collective work, we have delivered vital services to thousands of incarcerated people.
