This BJA grant, authorized by the Second Chance Act of 2007, aims to support the safe and successful reintegration of adults returning to communities after incarceration. With millions cycling through prisons and jails annually, and 95% eventually released, effective reentry services are crucial for public safety. This grant is specifically for developing and implementing mentoring programs and transitional services to aid this transition. It addresses the complex needs of returning individuals, including those from Native American tribes who may return from federal, state, local, or tribal facilities. The funding helps ensure comprehensive responses, fostering positive community reintegration for formerly incarcerated individuals. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes.

| Description: | The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides comprehensive responses to the increasing number of incarcerated adults who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 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 can return 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 211 of the Act authorizes grants to nonprofit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for mentoring programs to promote the safe and successful reintegration into the community of adults who have been incarcerated. |
