The Federal Bureau of Prisons, more usually known as BOP, is a federal law enforcement agency operating within the United States Department of Justice that's essentially accountable for the administration of the country's federal prison system.
The grants and programs of the BOP are all geared towards the achievement of its general agency mission which is to "protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and suitably secure, and that provide work and other self-development opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens."
As per this mission, the Federal Bureau of Prisons has recently constituted the development of the Jail Resource Management: Review and Revision Program whereby it will solicit applications for the revision of its existing Jail Resource Management Training Program.
The existing Jail Resource Management Programme is generally attended by sheriffs and a number of other jail directors. The program offers a 3-day training course that principally concentrates on the resource needs of a jail, including the development and presentation of a budget request, the determination of alternative funding options, and the management of a jail's budget.
The Jail Resource Management: Review and Revision Program plans to enhance the current Jail Resource Management Programme in an attempt to maximise the resources of the state's jail centers.
The grant awardees will be asked to work closely with the Federal Bureau of Prisons staff for a project period of nine months. To be considered worthy, an applicant must be able to manifest knowledge in the following areas:
a) The purpose, functions, and operational difficulties of local jails
b) The budget-related concerns in jails
c) The analysis of jail resource needs
d) The development and presentation of a convincing budget request to suitable ruling bodies
e) The resource restrictions that are experienced by various local jails and central authorities.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons is about to administer funding in the sum of $80,000 to support the execution of the project.
The institutions and associations that'll be deemed eligible to take part in the Jail Resource Management: Review and Revision Program are the following:
a) State or general unit of local government
b) Private agencies
c) Educational institutions
d) Individuals or groups that may manifest expertise in the areas in focus.
All of the institutions and setups mentioned above will be given the opportunity to submit an application under the program as long as they can demonstrate their ability to successfully carry out the activities included in the project.
