How to Report Allegations of Sexual Violence in the Iowa DOC

To report Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, or Sexual Misconduct you can contact any of the following people:

1.      Any Department of Corrections staff member.

2.      The Residential Manager for the facility in which the offender resides or the incident occurred.

3.     Ross Todd, PREA Coordinator 319-292-1263

4.      Iowa Department of Corrections 1-800-778-1182

Third parties, including other facility residents, staff members, family members, attorneys, and outside advocates may assist offenders in filing requests for administrative remedies relating to allegations of sexual abuse, sexual harassment or sexual misconduct, and may also file such requests on behalf of offenders.

If a third party files such a request on behalf of a resident, the facility may require as a condition of processing the request that the alleged victim agree to have the request filed on his or her behalf, and may also require the alleged victim to personally pursue any subsequent steps in the administrative remedy process.

Report any PREA incidents through our Second District Confidential Email - 2nd.Confidential@iowa.gov. 

Please include information such as your name, email address, phone number, a description of the incident including date and approximate time, the victim and victim contact information, suspect and suspect contact information, and location of the incident.
