Description
This grant opportunity, administered by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA), funds county governments and judicial circuits in Illinois to develop, implement, or expand programs that safely reduce reliance on incarceration. Through Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI), grantees create or enhance systems of graduated sanctions and treatment options, diverting eligible individuals with probation-eligible offenses from prison into evidence-based, community-based alternatives. The initiative prioritizes equity, data-driven planning, and measurable reductions in prison admissions, with the goal of strengthening local justice responses, fostering reintegration, and achieving cost-effective public safety outcomes.
