Register for the BJA Webinar on March 28 – The Price of Justice: Rethinking the Consequences of Justice Fines and Fees Funding Opportunity

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) will host an informational webinar on the The Price of Justice: Rethinking the Consequences of Justice Fines and Fees FY 2016 Competitive Grant Announcement on Monday, March 28, 2016 at 11:30 a.m. ET.

The goal of this program is to encourage and disseminate best practices for coordinated and appropriate justice system responses to justice-involved individuals’ inability to pay fines, fees, and related charges. The objectives of the program are the following:

• Support the use of data analysis upon which fair and effective policies and practices related to criminal justice financial obligations can be based.
• Promote and increase collaboration and data sharing among criminal justice agencies and officials regarding assessment, collection, prioritization, and tracking of fines, fees, and related costs, including state and local policymakers, law enforcement, prosecution, defense, pretrial, courts, probation, treatment, corrections, reentry, and parole.
• Support tailored alternatives to fines, fees, and costs that promote, rather than undermine, rehabilitation, reintegration, and community trust.

Applicants must register with Grants.gov prior to submitting an application. All applications are due in Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. ET on May 12, 2016.
