Grant Description: As part of a collaborative effort with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), BJA seeks proposals to implement and rigorously test important criminal justice interventions and programs as part of a multi-site Demonstration Field Experiment (DFE) on prisoner reentry. The DFE will use a randomized controlled trial program methodology. This multi-site DFE is part of BJAs reentry activities supported with funding under the Second Chance Act of 2007 (SCA) (Pub. L. 110-199). One purpose of the SCA is to generate new evidence about effective solutions for managing the increasing number of people who are released from jail and prison into communities and the subsequent challenges communities face as offenders attempt to reintegrate into society. For information, read the Second Chance Act of 2007.
