Finding the Truth: Investigations of Sexual Abuse of
Inmates in Confinement Settings

Instructor: Beth Layman & Isaiah Dennard

This two-day class is designed specifically for investigators who are responsible for investigating allegations (administrative and/or criminal) of sexual abuse in confinement settings. The course aligns with the requirements of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Standard §115.34 (§115.134, §115.234, §115.334), Specialized Training: Investigations.  Topics covered include: techniques for interviewing sexual abuse victims; proper use of Miranda and Garrity warnings; sexual abuse evidence collection in confinement settings; and criteria and evidence required to substantiate a case for administrative action or prosecution referral.  Participants will also review the PREA standards that apply to investigations, and have an opportunity to consider the facts of real allegations made by inmates in confinement.   This course is designed to meet the PREA requirement for specialized training for investigators.  It does not substitute for the training and experience to qualify someone as an investigator.
