Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI)

Through this solicitation, BJA seeks training and technical assistance providers and subject experts to help states apply the Justice Reinvestment Initiative approach — data-driven problem analysis and evidence-based solutions — to improve public safety.

This program provides funding to develop and implement innovative and research-based responses that address a range of criminal justice system problems. It employs the Justice Reinvestment approach, which recognizes that every justice agency has a role to play in preventing crime, ensuring a fair and efficient justice system, facilitating appropriate sentencing and treatment, and protecting community security.
