FWIW, PREA [0] has made a major impact on sexual assaults in American prisons & jails. It is really taken very seriously at the facilities I've visited (for work purposes). In fact, I've seen the allegations made by a clearly mentally ill person taken seriously and investigated, though the statement was obviously a work of fiction and the product of a deranged mind. Some units have dedicated "PREA Phones" to facilitate anonymous tips, and inmates with tablets can report via an app. Also, mentally ill inmates are (at least in California) generally put into their own housing units to prevent predation by the rest of the population. They have access to medication but cannot be forced to take them.
