This BJA grant supports the Second Chance Act (SCA), a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles returning to communities. With 95% of offenders eventually released, successful reintegration is crucial for public safety. The SCA authorizes federal awards to state and local governments and federally recognized Indian tribes for demonstration projects. These projects aim to promote the safe and successful reintegration of individuals from incarceration. Special attention is given to Native American tribes, recognizing the complexities of their release from various correctional facilities (federal, BIA, state, local, tribal). This program ensures a successful transition from prison and jail back into society, enhancing community safety.

| Description: | The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) seeks a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and return to their communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry services for members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they are released from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. Programs funded under the Second Chance Act help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison and jail to the community is successful and promotes public safety. Section 101 of the Second Chance Act authorizes federal awards to state and local governments and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for demonstration projects to promote the safe and successful reintegration into the community of individuals who have been incarcerated or detained. Funding from BJA is authorized under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013, Pub. L. 113-6, 127 Stat. 198, 253. |
