This BJA grant is for funding an organization to administer a competitive microgrant program and provide essential training and technical assistance (TTA). The core purpose is to support agencies dedicated to protecting vulnerable individuals within prisons, jails, and other confinement settings, while simultaneously reducing reliance on restrictive or punitive approaches. Vulnerable populations include, but are not limited to, those with physical disabilities, severe/persistent mental illness, LGBTQ+ individuals, youthful inmates in adult facilities, and those who are blind, deaf, or non-English speaking. This initiative aims to improve correctional practices by equipping agencies with the necessary resources and expertise to ensure the safety and well-being of these populations.
