The Morrison County Jail has a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment in our facility, under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) 2003. We will enforce all federal, state, and local laws pertaining to inmate sexual misconduct. All reports will be fully investigated, which includes both allegations of sexual abuse or sexual harassment, by the Morrison County Jail, Morrison County Sheriff's Office, or the Little Falls Police Department.
Under PREA, we have established uniform methods for prompt reporting and investigation of allegations of sex-related offenses or threats, identification of predators, protection of victims, and prescribing sanctions for substantiated sexual offenses, as well as false allegations. This standard is directed to all sexual acts relating to: inmate to inmate, inmate to staff and staff to inmate.
Inmates who are currently being sexually assaulted are encouraged to talk to a staff member. This will allow for the quickest response.
If you suspect that an inmate is the victim of sexual assault/harassment, it can be reported in 1 of the following ways:
1. Contact the Morrison County Jail PREA Coordinator during regular business hours at 320-631-2879.
2. Call the Morrison County Jail and request to speak with a Shift Supervisor to make a report at 320-632-2673.
3. Call Hands of Hope Resource Center 320-632-4878 or 888-454-4878.
