The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is offering this competitive grant program for Criminal Justice Reform and Recidivism Reduction, centered on the Justice Reinvestment model. This grant is for states, localities, and tribal entities to implement a data-driven approach to criminal justice. The core purpose is to analyze factors contributing to jail and prison population growth, develop policies to manage corrections expenditures, and generate public revenue savings. A portion of these savings will be reinvested into the justice system to further reduce costs and into communities for crime prevention initiatives. The program also emphasizes measuring the impact of policy changes and holding policymakers accountable for achieving projected outcomes in public safety and offender accountability.

| 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. |
