24JD02: NIC Continues Funding for Objective Jail Classification Project

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) has announced the continuation of funding under the funding opportunity number 24JD02 for the “Objective Jail Classification Project.” This initiative is focused on the development of a companion document to the revised “Objective Jail Classification Systems: A Guide for Jail Administrators.” With an estimated total program funding of $100,000 and an award ceiling of the same amount, this project plays a crucial role in enhancing jail management and operations.

It’s important to note that this announcement is not a request for applications but a notification of ongoing funding for cooperative agreement award 22JD03GLL9. The objective of this project is to provide jail administrators with updated and comprehensive guidance on implementing effective jail classification systems. These systems are vital for maintaining safety and security in jail settings, as well as for ensuring the appropriate management of inmates based on various risk and need factors. The continuation of this funding underscores the NIC’s commitment to improving correctional practices and policies through research and development. This initiative is integral to advancing the field of corrections and aiding jail administrators in effectively managing their facilities.
