Other For purposes of this solicitation, “states” are defined as all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. By statute (34 U.S.C. § 10421), BJA must award RSAT grants to the state office (see www.ojp.usdoj.gov/saa/index.htm for the State Administering Agencies list) designated to administer the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program. The state office may award subgrants to state agencies and units of local government, including federally recognized Indian tribal governments that perform law enforcement functions (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior).

To advance Executive Order 13929 Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Attorney General determined that all state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body or have started the certification process to be eligible for FY 2021 DOJ discretionary grant funding. To become certified, the law enforcement agency must meet two mandatory conditions: (1) the agency’s use of force policies adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws; and (2) the agency’s use of force policies prohibit chokeholds except in situations where use of deadly force is allowed by law. The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward. For detailed information on this new certification requirement, please visit https://cops.usdoj.gov/SafePolicingEO to access the Standards for Certification on Safe Policing for Safe Communities, Implementation Fact Sheet, and List of Designated Independent Credentialing Bodies.

Program Description Overview Pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 10421 et. Seq, the BJA RSAT for State Prisoners Program seeks to break the cycle of drug addiction and violence by reducing the demand for, use, and trafficking of illegal drugs.

Statutory Authority 34 U.S.C. § 10421 et. Seq

Any awards under this solicitation will be made under the statutory authority provided by a full-year Department of Justice appropriations act for FY 2021

Specific Information The RSAT for State Prisoners Program assists states with developing and implementing residential substance abuse treatment programs within state correctional facilities, as well as within local correctional and detention facilities, in which inmates are incarcerated for a period of time sufficient to permit substance abuse treatment. The program encourages the establishment and maintenance of drug-free prisons and jails and developing and implementing specialized residential substance abuse treatment programs that identify and provide appropriate treatment to inmates with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders or challenges.

Goals, Objectives, Deliverables, and Timeline Goals

Assist state, local, and tribal efforts to break the cycle of drug addiction and violence by reducing the demand for, use, and trafficking of illegal drugs.

Objectives

Enhance the capabilities of states and units of local and tribal governments to provide residential substance abuse treatment for incarcerated inmates.

Prepare individuals for reintegration into communities.

Assist individuals and communities through the reentry process by delivering community-based treatment and other broad-based aftercare services.

Deliverables

RSAT Program funds may be used to implement three types of programs: residential, jail-based, and aftercare.

To be eligible for funding, states must coordinate the design and implementation of the treatment programs between state correctional representatives and the state alcohol and drug abuse agency (and, if appropriate, between representatives of local correctional agencies and representatives of either the state alcohol and drug abuse agency or an appropriate local alcohol and drug abuse agency). The RSAT Program requirements to support and implement a residential program, which engages inmates for a period of between 6 and 12 months, and a jail-based program, which engages inmates for at least 3 months, are to:

Require urinalysis and/or other proven reliable forms of drug and alcohol testing for program participants, including both periodic and random testing, and for former participants while they remain in the custody of the state or local government.

Provide residential treatment facilities set apart—in a separate facility or dedicated housing unit in a facility exclusively for use by RSAT participants—from the general correctional population.

Ensure that individuals who participate in the BJA-funded substance abuse treatment program will be provided with aftercare services when they leave incarceration.

Aftercare services must involve coordination of the correctional facility treatment program with other human service and rehabilitation programs such as educational and job training programs, parole supervision programs, half-way house programs, and participation in self-help and peer group programs that may aid in the rehabilitation of individuals in the substance abuse treatment program.

Coordinate with the federal assistance for substance abuse treatment and aftercare services currently provided by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). RSAT funding may be used for medication-assisted treatment such as long-acting injectable anti-psychotic medications as an allowable expense to improve treatment adherence and reduce risk for relapse and re-incarceration.

Whenever possible, RSAT residential program participation should be limited to inmates with 6 to 12 months remaining in their confinement.

Note that allocation to local correctional and detention facilities should account for at least 10 percent of the total state allocation for FY 2021—provided such facilities exist—and be used for either residential substance abuse treatment programs or jail-based substance abuse treatment programs that meet the aforementioned criteria. Assistance to jail-based substance abuse treatment programs shall support those programs that are effective, science-based, and established by local correctional facilities. BJA requires that priority consideration be given to support programs in rural and tribal areas.

Per 34 U.S.C. 10422(c), in order to be eligible for funding under the RSAT Program, a state shall ensure that individuals who participate in the substance abuse treatment program with assistance provided under this program be provided with aftercare services. These services must involve coordination between the correctional treatment program and other social service and rehabilitation programs such as education and job training, parole supervision, halfway house, self-help, and peer group programs. To qualify as an aftercare program, the head of the substance abuse treatment program must work in conjunction with state and local authorities and organizations involved in substance abuse treatment to place program participants into community substance abuse treatment facilities upon their release. In addition, states should coordinate these activities with any SAMHSA-funded state and/or local programs that address the needs of this target population. A state may use amounts received for community reintegration if the chief executive officer of the state certifies that the state is providing, and will continue to provide, an adequate level of residential treatment services.

The Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables are directly related to the performance measures that demonstrate the results of the work completed, as discussed under Application Submission Information.

Evidence-Based Programs or Practices OJP strongly emphasizes the use of data and evidence in policymaking and program development in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services. For additional information and resources on evidence-based programs or practices, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide.

Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based substance abuse treatment protocol, and BJA supports making it available to individuals under the care and prescription of a physician.

Information Regarding Potential Evaluation of Programs and Activities OJP may conduct or support an evaluation of the programs and activities funded under this solicitation. For additional information, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide section entitled “Information Regarding Potential Evaluation of Programs and Activities. ”

Application Review Information Review Process OJP reviews the application to make sure that the information presented is reasonable, understandable, measurable, achievable, and consistent with the solicitation. See the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide for information on the application review process for this solicitation.

Pursuant to the Part 200 Uniform Requirements, before award decisions are made, OJP also reviews information related to the degree of risk posed by the applicant. Among other things to help assess whether an applicant that has one or more prior federal awards has a satisfactory record with respect to performance, integrity, and business ethics, OJP checks whether the applicant is listed in SAM as excluded from receiving a federal award.

In addition, if OJP anticipates that an award will exceed $250,000 in federal funds, OJP also must review and consider any information about the applicant that appears in the non-public segment of the integrity and performance system accessible through SAM (currently, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, FAPIIS).

Important note on FAPIIS: An applicant, at its option, may review and comment on any information about itself that currently appears in FAPIIS and was entered by a federal awarding agency. OJP will consider any such comments by the applicant, in addition to the other information in FAPIIS, in its assessment of the risk posed by the applicant.

Absent explicit statutory authorization or written delegation of authority to the contrary, the Assistant Attorney General will make all final award decisions.
