Criminal Justice Improvement and Recidivism Reduction through State, Local, and Tribal Justice Reinvestment: Category 3: Local and Tribal Justice Reinvestment Program Implementation

The purpose of the FY 2011 Criminal Justice Improvement and Recidivism Reduction Competitive Grant Program is to continue implement the Justice Reinvestment (JRI) model. JRI refers to a data-driven model that: (1) analyzes criminal justice trends to understand what factors are driving the growth in jail and prison populations; (2) develops and implements policy options to manage the growth in corrections expenditures, generates savings in public revenues, and increases the effectiveness of current spending and investment to increase public safety and improve offender accountability; (3) reinvests a portion of the savings into the justice system to further reduce corrections spending and into the community to further prevent crime; and (4) measures the impact of the policy changes and reinvestment resources and holds policymakers accountable for projected results.

The Center for Effective Public Policy, Inc. will provide continued support to equip local and tribal jurisdictions to pursue a JRI Strategy. They will provide technical assistance support to local and tribal-level JRI program implementations. NCA/NCF
