Abstract
This Program Performance Report (PPR) examines key findings of the Correctional Systems and Correctional Alternatives on Tribal Lands1 (CSCATL) program. To date, 57 Federal awards are classified as "open" and 61 Federal awards as "closed" in the Grants Management System. All data analyzed in this PPR are self-reported by individual grantee organizations. The key objective of the CSCATL program is to assist in the planning, renovation, and construction of correctional facilities, including encouraging facilities that serve as an alternative to incarceration on tribal land. The program provides funding to assist tribes in cost-effective construction and renovation of correctional facilities associated with the incarceration and rehabilitation of juvenile and adult offenders subject to tribal jurisdiction. In addition, this funding allows tribes to explore community-based alternatives to help prevent and control jail overcrowding due to crime related to alcohol abuse and other substance abuse. The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) administers the CSCATL program in coordination with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The report is based on self-report grantee data from April 1, 2012, to March 31, 2013. The intent of the report is to increase the transparency and accountability of the CSCATL program by highlighting grantee progress toward achieving strategic plans, renovation, or construction projects.
