BJA FY 10 Second Chance Act Program to Evaluate and Improve Educational Methods for Incarcerated Adults and Juveniles: The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of people who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. There are approximately 94,000 youth in residential confinement within the juvenile justice system on any given day. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act will help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is safe and successful. Section 114 of the Second Chance Act authorizes grants to evaluate and improve academic and vocational education for incarcerated adults and juveniles, and then recommend to DOJ/ BJA, best practices for such educational programs.
