The Pretrial Justice Institute and the Bureau of Justice Assistance are partnering to provide technical assistance for up to five local jurisdictions through the Smart Pretrial Initiative to implement evidence-based pretrial practices. There are six categories of technical assistance: containing the costs of the criminal justice system, procedural justice at first sight, detention hearings, minimizing technical violations and re-admission, enhancing and ensuring racial and ethnic equality, and community participation in public safety. Interested jurisdictions must apply by April 21, 2017 and decisions will be made by June 2, 2017. Further information, including eligibility requirements and a detailed program description, is available here.
