MacArthur Foundation Announces Safety and Justice Challenge
Yesterday, the MacArthur Foundation announced their new Safety and Justice Challenge (Challenge) in an effort to reduce incarceration in local jails. Through the Challenge, up to 20 local jurisdictions will be selected to receive $150,000 to support an intensive six-month planning process examining local jail data, building effective partnerships, and developing a long-term plan to reduce their prison populations. The MacArthur Foundation also plans to select 10 local jurisdictions for a second round of funding early next year of up to $2 million to implement their jail reduction plan. Applications are due by March 31, 2015. Information on three upcoming webinars and additional detail on the Safety and Justice Challenge can be accessed here.
