Abstract
Abstract The purpose of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Intake Questionnaire is purportedly to evaluate the “risk of victimization” and “risk of abusiveness” for each incarcerated person in the New York City jails. Corrections officers completed it during the intake process through a blend of observations, records searches, and documentation of the incarcerated person’s responses. This visual essay engages with and disrupts the carceralities embedded within this triplicate form.
