The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is offering this grant to help states combat escalating incarceration rates and corrections spending, which have risen significantly. This grant is for the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI), a data-driven public safety approach. It provides extensive training and technical assistance to states, enabling them to analyze criminal justice data and develop tailored policy options. These strategies aim to reduce corrections expenditures while simultaneously improving public safety. The resulting cost savings can be reinvested into high-performing programs that further states’ public safety goals and reduce recidivism. This grant supports the implementation of these critical JRI strategies.

Many states are searching for ways to reign in the growth in corrections spending in a manner consistent with public safety. State policymakers often have insufficient access to detailed, data-driven explanations about changes in crime, arrest, conviction, and jail and prison population trends.

These options are intended to reduce corrections spending while yielding more effective uses of scarce resources.
