Androscoggin County Jail
Sheriff - Eric G. Samson
Prison Rape Elimination Act - PREA
The Androscoggin County Jail has a systematic
process that starts when an arrestee enters our intake area (the
booking process). Upon Booking all ACJ arrestees will be explained
PREA and our zero tolerance. This form and posters throughout the
facility explain the ways to report any instance of sexual assault
or harassment. This includes: telling a staff member, volunteer,
or contractor; by sending an inmate request or grievance; making a
report on the free ACJ PREA Hotline; or by writing the Department
of Corrections PREA Coordinator. Any of these reporting means can
be done anonymously and are available to third parties in the
community. If someone is a victim of sexual assault or harassment
they have the right to treatment, counseling and help free of
charge. Victim advocacy services are available and mental
health for those in need. For those persons dealing with trauma
related to acts of sexual violence in the community ACJ will
assist in the continuation of services during their
incarceration.
