The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Nebraska Commission On Law Enforcement And Criminal Justice $121,721 on October 1, 2025, under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners formula grant program (CFDA 16.593).

The award funds outreach, subawards to the state correctional system, local jail-based treatment programs, and aftercare services that deliver substance use disorder treatment programming to incarcerated individuals during pre-trial detention, post-trial detention, and reentry. Residential substance use treatment programs last 6 to 12 months for prison-based settings and at least 3 months for jail-based settings throughout Nebraska. The programs focus on preparing offenders for reintegration into their communities through reentry planning activities, providing enhanced residential substance use treatment and reentry outreach for incarcerated individuals, and improving staff coordination across treatment providers. Outreach includes an RSAT survey distributed throughout Nebraska and coordination with the Nebraska Jail Standards Division, the Nebraska Statistical Analysis Center, the Nebraska Department of Corrections, and other criminal justice and mental health stakeholders.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Place of performance is Lincoln, Nebraska. The formula grant program aims to improve substance use treatment during and after incarceration to reduce recidivism by increasing access to treatment for individuals with substance use or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders in state, local, and tribal detention or incarceration facilities.

The purpose of the application is to request funding for outreach and subaward to the state correctional system, local jail-based treatment programs, and aftercare services that provide substance use disorder treatment programming and services to incarcerated individuals during pre-trial detention, post-trial detention, and reentry aftercare. Inmates assigned to residential substance use treatment programs have been identified as having serious substance use disorders. These programs generally last for a period of 6 to 12 months for residential prison-based and at least 3 months in residential jail-based programs throughout the state of nebraska. The programs will concentrate on the following objective: prepare offenders for reintegration into the communities from which they came by incorporating reentry planning activities into the treatment programs, provide enhanced residential substance use treatment and reentry outreach for incarcerated individuals, and improve staff coordination to ensure treatments are provided in an efficient manner. Efforts will be made as part of outreach through an rsat survey to distribute throughout the state of nebraska. Outreach efforts will be made to the county and local jail facilities by coordinating efforts with the nebraska jail standards division, the nebraska statistical analysis center, nebraska department of corrections, and other criminal justice and mental health stakeholders.
