# 34 U.S.C. § 30302 - Purposes
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
The purposes of this chapter are to—
|
||
|
||
(1) establish a zero-tolerance standard for the incidence of prison rape in prisons in the United States;
|
||
|
||
(2) make the prevention of prison rape a top priority in each prison system;
|
||
|
||
(3) develop and implement national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape;
|
||
|
||
(4) increase the available data and information on the incidence of prison rape, consequently improving the management and administration of correctional facilities;
|
||
|
||
(5) standardize the definitions used for collecting data on the incidence of prison rape;
|
||
|
||
(6) increase the accountability of prison officials who fail to detect, prevent, reduce, and punish prison rape;
|
||
|
||
(7) protect the Eighth Amendment rights of Federal, State, and local prisoners;
|
||
|
||
(8) increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Federal expenditures through grant programs such as those dealing with health care; mental health care; disease prevention; crime prevention, investigation, and prosecution; prison construction, maintenance, and operation; race relations; poverty; unemployment; and homelessness; and
|
||
|
||
(9) reduce the costs that prison rape imposes on interstate commerce.
