Jurisdictions considering the renovation of an existing jail or the construction of a new one can apply for technical assistance in evaluating their current facility and assessing the role of their jail in the local criminal justice system. Use the Agency Assistance link on our home page to apply.
NIC will assess the physical condition of the jail and interview criminal justice stakeholders about policies and practices that affect the jail. The assistance will result in recommendations related to new construction or renovation and observations concerning areas of the local justice system that affect the jail population. The recommendations and observations will be presented at a meeting of local officials, jail practitioners, and community members and documented in a follow-up report.
