Nisqually Corrections Initiative

The Recovery Act - Renovation of Correctional Facilities on Tribal Lands Discretionary Grant Program assists tribes in developing strategies to cost effectively construct or renovate existing facilities associated with the incarceration and rehabilitation of juvenile and adult offenders subject to tribal jurisdiction. Careful planning is critical to ensure that new and renovated correctional facilities are appropriately designed for the intended population, supportive of cultural and traditional values, safe and secure when completed, and are in compliance with appropriate standards regarding correctional operations, programs, and design.

The Nisqually Indian Tribe is the fiscal agent for this application. They plan to utilize grant funds to construct a Category II Multi-purpose Justice Center on tribal lands. Specifically, the grant will fund the construction of a 108 bed special needs housing unit, two 96 bed dorm style housing units, and a support services building.
