| 02-5076 | Solicitation for a Cooperative Agreement Document: Basic Guide to Jail Administration | Notice | The National Institute of Corrections, Jails Division, is seeking applications for the development of a document that provides jail administrators a guide to the basics of assessing, directing, and improving their jail operations. Background: There are over 3,000 jails in the United States, and the administrators of these facilities have widely varying backgrounds, experience, and expertise. Often, jail administrators come to their position with some background in general management techniques, but with minimal knowledge and skills in assessing, directing, and overseeing functions specific to jails. Many jail administrators have access to little or no training, since jail funding is frequently severely limited and the training budget is reduced to support other basic functions. As a result of this lack of experience and information, many jail administrators cannot ensure their jails comply with legal mandates, their operations reflect effective and professional practices, or their scarce resources are efficiently used. In fact, without essential information on jail administration, many of those who oversee the nation's jails cannot even ensure their jails are safe and secure, and this puts staff, inmates, and the community at risk--and places the local government at high risk for liability. The National Institute of Corrections offers training on jail administration, but is able to reach only a minority of the nation's jail administrators in this way. NIC also makes available a variety of documents on administration-related issues and refers jail administrators to other sources of information and services where appropriate. There is, however, no one document that can serve as a concise and practical guide to jail administration. Such a document will help fill a widespread information void among the nation's jail administrators. Project Objectives: The National Institute of Corrections wishes to produce a basic guide to jail administration that can be widely disseminated to the nation's jails. | 2002-03-04 | 2002 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/03/04/02-5076/solicitation-for-a-cooperative-agreement-document-basic-guide-to-jail-administration | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-03-04/pdf/02-5076.pdf | Justice Department; National Institute of Corrections | 268,349 | The National Institute of Corrections, Jails Division, is seeking applications for the development of a document that provides jail administrators a guide to the basics of assessing, directing, and improving their jail operations.
