Growth for 2016
Three areas targeted for expansion
Pretrial services planning and reform: CRJ is currently working in TN, DE and MA. Our style emphasizes effective use of tools relies on staff training.
Restrictive Housing: CRJ is currently working with MN on an assessment of practices and policies and in SD on a pilot program. RH is often called solitary confinement or administrative segregation. Applications are pending in other states and we are aggressively seeking other funds to advance our model.
Police Oversight: CRJ is currently part of the court ordered monitoring team in Cleveland. We are also the evaluator of the COPS Office CRI-TA Initiative in 7 sites.

JRI money is for 3 years, the TN money is for 4 years.
Excited about all of it, however, BJA $ is particularly meaningful as it provides CJI credentials for the JRI work, and the TN money is a 4 year project on pretrial justice, an area of hoped for expansion and growth 10
