Local jails in Tennessee are eligible for grants that could help reduce recidivism. The Office of Criminal Justice Programs (OCJP) is offering the grants for evidence-based jail programming that meets specific criteria related to successful inmate re-entry into communities.
The deadline to apply for the Evidence-Based Programming (EBP) project is September 29, 2023. You can find more information and the application on the Tennessee Department of Finance & Administration website.
