Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2011, $12,542)
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and units of local government, including tribes, to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own state and local needs and conditions. Grant funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice, including for any one or more of the following purpose areas: 1) law enforcement programs; 2) prosecution and court programs; 3) prevention and education programs; 4) corrections and community corrections programs; 5) drug treatment and enforcement programs; 6) planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and 7) crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).
The grantee will utilize the grant to provide alternative confinement for first time offenders, younger adults and low grade offenders. Funds will be used to rent tracking equipment that will be used for offenders to keep them out of confinement. The project goals are to decrease jail overcrowding and provide the offender with a chance to straighten out their lives. NCA/NCF
