Applicants are strongly encouraged to partner with local agencies, including faith-based and community organizations, to implement activities in local jails, detention centers, and holding facilities.
Grant Description: Funding will support programming in two areas: (1) protecting inmates by undertaking efforts to more effectively prevent, investigate, and prosecute prison rape incidents and providing the appropriate victim services and treatment, and (2) safeguarding communities through various mediums such as intergovernmental collaboration, assessment, training, and technical assistance. Applicants can apply for the Protecting Inmates portion, the Safeguarding Communities portion, or both. Within each area, specific goals and objectives are delineated pursuant to the enhancement of control and support services for both victims and perpetrators of prisoner rape. It is recognized that potential applicants may have some resources and services, but not all of the resources and services presented in this solicitations goals and objectives. Applicants are encouraged 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. Areas of special interest include focusing on female and juvenile offenders, addressing rape in a local correctional facility, collaborating with stakeholders, and incorporating faith-based and community organizations into a prevention and safeguarding strategy. States are strongly encouraged to partner with local agencies to provide programming in these special interest areas.
