As required by the Correctional Options Incentives Amendments of the Crime Control Act of 1990, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) provides financial and technical support to jurisdictions seeking to begin correctional options programs.
Abstract
In 1993, six grants were to be awarded under Part I of the BJA Correctional Options Grant Program. Parts I and III of the program provide for grants to public agencies to develop correctional options programs and boot camps for youthful offenders. Part II funds grants and cooperative agreements for private nonprofit organizations to disseminate information to jurisdictions interested in implementing innovative correctional options demonstration programs. The BJA also intends to award a cooperative agreement to an organization qualified to design, implement, and evaluate a telecommunications capability to provide education, training, and technical assistance in support of the Correctional Options Program.
