Improving Tribal Corrections Program

The Correctional Systems and Correctional Alternatives on Tribal Lands (CSCATL) Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is designed to assist tribes with 1) the identification of justice system needs and the planning process for renovating and constructing correctional facilities, multi-purpose justice centers, or correctional alternative facilities; and 2) the development, implementation, or enhancement of community-based correctional alternatives to address the incarceration and rehabilitation of juvenile and adult offenders subject to tribal jurisdiction. The goal of TTA under this solicitation is to assist tribes in assessing their existing justice system continuum of services to determine the strategies that will be most effective, efficient, and sustainable in addressing the tribal correctional and/or correctional alternative needs.

The National Indian Justice Center (NIJC) and EKM&P Associates, Inc. (EKM&P) are partnering to continue delivering the Improving Tribal Corrections Program (ITC). This program will support the CSCATL grant recipients funded under Purpose Area #4 of the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS). The goals are to facilitate positive working relationships with the CTAS Purpose Area 4 grantees, identify their immediate and long-term TTA needs, develop specific TTA to address those needs, and to support the grantees in their efforts to meet their project goals effectively and in a timely manner. Additionally, NIJC may provide TTA services for tribes that do not receive CTAS funding.

In order to achieve these goals and objectives, the National Indian Justice Center (NIJC), in partnership with EKMP Associates, Inc. (EKM&P), will administer TTA services focusing primarily on recipients of FY 2011 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) funding. The end result of the justice system planning process for tribes that receive planning grants under CTAS will be a master plan that may include recommendations for renovation or construction of correctional facilities, multi-purpose justice centers, or correctional alternative facilities that include programming to meet the rehabilitative needs of offenders, or the implementation of community-based correctional alternatives. Additionally, NIJC may provide TTA services for tribes that do not receive FY 2011 CTAS funding. CA/NCF
