The North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation maintains a written policy mandating zero tolerance toward all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment and outlining the agency’s approach to preventing, detecting, and responding to such conduct. (DOCR Policy 3C-4) The DOCR PREA Policy is available on this website.
Upon receiving an allegation that an inmate was sexually abused while confined at another facility, the head of the facility will notify head or appropriate office of the agency where the sexual abuse is alleged to have occurred. ( North Dakota DOCR Policy 3C-4 and PREA Standard 115.63)
PREA requires “incidents” to be recorded in one of three categories: 1) Substantiated; 2) Unsubstantiated; or 3) Unfounded. Below is a compilation of the reported incidents at the North Dakota DOCR Missouri River Correctional Center that meet PREA definitions since 2005, which is when the data began to be collected in this format.
