What is the program?
The Correctional Facilities on Tribal Lands Program has focused efforts on 23 American Indian and Alaska Native tribes that have been provided federal resources to plan and construct correctional facilities on tribal lands for the incarceration of offenders subject to tribal jurisdiction. Fiscal Year 2005 resources enables tribes to complete construction activities, receive training in administration and facility maintenance, and coordinate certification activities with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), U.S. Department of the Interior. Upon completion, the BIA and grantees are responsible for supporting, operating, and maintaining the correctional facilities.

Next steps involve the Bureau of Justice Assistance working in partnership with the BIA to: develop a Tribal Detention Advisory Board; identify cost efficient facility planning and construction strategies; assess local and regional tribal needs; explore tribes partnering with other tribal and non-tribal jurisdictions to help resolve problems regarding the incarceration and treatment of offenders subject to tribal jurisdiction; and establish a funding strategy in the event federal resources are again appropriated for this program.

Funding: The FY 2005 appropriation is $5 million

How/When To Apply: The FY 2006 program has not been opened yet. Grantees will be notified by BJA when applications will be accepted through OJP's Grants Management System.
