Grant Description

The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117) authorized the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to provide funding for a Criminal Justice Reform and Recidivism Reduction Competitive Grant Program. This program focuses on a Justice Reinvestment model. ‘‘Justice reinvestment’’ refers to a data-driven model that: (1) analyzes criminal justice trends to understand what factors are driving the growth in jail and prison populations; (2) develops and implements policy options to manage the growth in corrections expenditures, generates savings in public revenues, and increases the effectiveness of current spending and investment to increase public safety and improve offender accountability; (3) reinvests a portion of the savings into the justice system to further reduce corrections spending and into the community to further prevent crime; and (4) measures the impact of the policy changes and reinvestment resources and holds policymakers accountable for projected results.
