Second Chance Act Juvenile Offender Reentry Program for Planning and Demonstration Projects
Applicants are limited to states, territories, units of local government (including federally-recognized Indian tribal governments as determined by the Secretary of the Interior).
The Second Chance Act grant programs authorized under Section 101 help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies to address the challenges that offender reentry and recidivism reduction pose. ?Reentry is not a specific program, but rather a research-driven process that starts when an offender is initially incarcerated, and ends when the offender has been successfully reintegrated into his or her community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of program services in both pre- and post-release settings to ensure that the offender safely and successfully transitions from a juvenile residential facility to the community.
