NORTHWEST REGIONAL RE-ENTRY CENTER
PREA Annual Statement 2022
The Northwest Regional Re-Entry Center (NWRRC) has an agency wide commitment to provide for the safety and well-being of our residents. This commitment includes a zero tolerance for violations of PREA. We have staff trained to investigate all PREA allegations. NWRRC takes reports of sexual abuse and sexual harassment seriously and each complaint will be investigated. If criminal behavior is indicated, the Portland Police Bureau will be contacted to conduct a criminal investigation. If an incident indicates a policy violation, it will be investigated internally and the information may be turned over to the Bureau of Prisons who will investigate based on their protocol.
NWRRC ‘s PREA Coordinator tracks all reports from the date they were received through the conclusion of the investigation and if warranted through a prosecution proceeding. During 2022, six (6) PREA reports were made and investigated. The type of reports and outcomes are as follow:
