Grant Description

The Correctional Systems and Correctional Alternatives on Tribal Lands (CSCATL) Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is designed to assist tribes with the 1) identification of justice system needs and the planning process for renovating and constructing correctional facilities, multi-purpose justice centers, or correctional alternative facilities, and 2) development, implementation, or enhancement of community-based correctional alternatives to address the incarceration and rehabilitation of juvenile and adult offenders subject to tribal jurisdiction. ╔к_Community-based correctional alternatives╔к_ refers to initiatives or programs which address offender needs outside of an institutional setting. Community-based correctional alternatives may include diversion programs, substance abuse and mental health treatment programs, holdover/sobriety centers, and problem-solving strategies. The CSCATL TTA program is authorized under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Title II, Subtitle A, Public Law 103-322, 105 Stat. 1796, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 13701 et seq. The Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA) of 2009 amends Section 20109 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 13709) by expanding the scope of the Correctional Facilities on Tribal Lands (CFTL) Program.
