Get Started

Details:

  • In fiscal year 2004, the U.S. Department of Justice received an appropriation of approximately $20 million to make grants to states to support efforts to protect male and female inmates in adult and juvenile correctional facilities from prison rape and safeguard the communities to which inmates return. This program is divided into two parts:
    1. Protecting Inmates
    2. Safeguarding Communities
  • Applicants can apply for the Protecting Inmates portion, the Safeguarding Communities portion, or both. Within each part, specific goals and objectives are delineated pursuant to the enhancement of control and support services for both victims and perpetrators of sexual assault and prison rape.
  • It is recognized that potential applicants may have some, but not all of the organizational resources and services presented in the goals and objectives listed in this solicitation.
  • Applicants are encouraged, though not required, to address both parts of the initiative focusing on at least one or two of the goal areas and the corresponding objectives.
  • No applicant is expected to address all of the goals and objectives in both parts of the solicitation. Applicants are asked, however, to describe their existing systems with regard to services suggested in the solicitation design. This will provide an understanding for what will need to be done currently and in the future to provide an appropriate and effective response to the problem of sexual assault and prison rape in state and local correctional settings including jails and lock-ups.
Deadline: CLOSED
