Montana Department Of Corrections

Montana Department Of Corrections, doing business as Board Of Crime Control, is a U.S. State Government entity that serves as Montana's state administering agency for various U.S. Department of Justice grant programs. Through past prime federal grant awards, it has provided funding and oversight for programs supporting law enforcement, courts, corrections, substance abuse treatment, victim services, violence against women assistance, and other criminal justice initiatives across Montana.

Specifically, Montana Department Of Corrections has received prime grant awards from Department of Justice agencies and offices including the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). These awards have supported formula and block grant programs such as the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, Residential Substance Abuse Treatment, Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grants, Violence Against Women Formula Grants, Sexual Assault Services Formula Grants, and Title II Formula Grants. The funding has allowed Montana Department Of Corrections to make sub-awards to local governments, law enforcement, courts, community organizations and service providers to deliver programs addressing local criminal justice needs. Service areas have included both rural and urban regions across Montana. Key partners have included county governments, police departments, sheriff's offices, community non-profits, domestic violence shelters, legal aid organizations, and youth advocacy groups. Deliverables have encompassed victim support services, offender interventions, youth mentoring and counseling, drug enforcement and treatment, forensics improvements, and training for justice system stakeholders.
