Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2013, $299,997)
Under this supplement, the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI) will focus the FY 2013 program on a new effort, introduce the pretrial lessons learned from the BJA Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) and the Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative to a broader constituency. PJI will use grant funds to work with major urban courts who have discussed acquiring long-term assistance in reforming their pretrial justice systems, as well as conduct state-specific trainings for prosecutors, defenders, judges and elected official in collaboration with existing BJA grantees. They will administer the pretrial helpdesk, which has become the central repository for pretrial justice resources and materials. They will plan state specific pretrial symposia developed by the Conference of Chief Justices in consultation with the Attorney General. In addition, PJI will continue the momentum created by the Attorney General's National Pretrial Symposium by working with existing grantees. NCA/NCF
