Summary

It explains how yearly money is split and used. Each participating State first gets 0.4 percent of the total. The rest is divided so each State’s share matches its share of the total prison population of all participating States. Federal grants will pay no more than 75 percent of the project costs listed in the State’s application for that fiscal year. At least 10 percent of a State’s money must go to grants for local jails and detention centers (if they exist) for proven, science-based jail substance abuse programs. A residential substance abuse treatment program is at least 6 months of individual and group treatment in a residential unit kept apart from the general prison or jail population. It may include medication-based treatment that can continue past 6 months when appropriate.
