What is the role of a PREA coordinator?

• A. To discipline inmates directly.
• B. To supervise custodial rounds only.
• C. To run prison education programs.
• D. To conduct interviews related to sexual assault or other PREA-related incidents.

Answer: (D)

The role being tested is coordinating PREA-related processes, including handling interviews for sexual assault or other PREA incidents. A PREA coordinator serves as the primary point of contact to ensure PREA compliance, which means organizing and overseeing how incidents are reported, investigated, and documented, and ensuring interviews are conducted properly to gather accurate information and protect victims. This function centers on compliance and incident handling rather than day-to-day custody tasks or program delivery. Disciplining inmates is the responsibility of custody or disciplinary staff, supervising rounds is a security function, and running education programs is a program management task; none of these are the coordinator’s primary focus.
