34 U.S.C. § 60511: Careers training…

Summary

The Attorney General must give grants to states, local governments, territories, nonprofits, and Indian Tribes to run career training and subsidized work for people in prison and for youth and adults returning to the community. Grants can fund training that starts up to 3 years before release and continues during the person’s transition back into the community. Applications that assess local job demand, make individual reentry career plans early, connect with local employers, or track employment results will get priority. Grant recipients must limit prisoners’ internet use as needed for public safety. By the last day of each fiscal year, groups that received a grant the year before must send the Attorney General a report on how they used the money and how it worked. Congress authorized $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
