PREA Policy

The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) mandates a ZERO TOLERANCE toward all forms of sexual abuse and harassment. The policy provides guidelines for staff to reduce the risk of sexual abuse within DJJ facilities/programs/offices (owned, operated or contracted).

Youth who engage in sexual assaults or sexual abuse will be strongly disciplined and may be referred for criminal prosecution.

Employees who engage in sexual assault or sexual abuse with youth will be terminated from employment and will be referred for criminal prosecution when applicable.
