Opportunity Information: Apply for 20JD06
The NIC Jail-Related Publications Revision grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20JD06) is a U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections (NIC) project funded through a cooperative agreement (CFDA 16.603). The goal is to take three existing NIC jail publications and bring them up to date so they can be re-released for modern, web-based distribution. The work centers on reviewing the current content, updating and revising it to reflect contemporary conditions in jails, incorporating current research findings and relevant data, and integrating best practices and promising practices from the field. In addition to content updates, the opportunity specifically calls for refreshed, modern graphics and formatting suitable for an online platform, meaning the end products should read and look like current digital resources rather than older print manuals converted to PDF.
A major part of the project is revising "Managing Risks in Jails," a manual designed to help jail leaders understand what risk is, how it affects jail operations, and how to build a formal risk management program that uses core organizational resources such as staff, finances, property, partnerships, and reputation. The updated version is expected to strengthen and modernize the publication’s discussion of risk concepts, common jail risk areas, and strategies for mitigation, and it should continue to provide practical tools like a risk register and implementation/action plan worksheets. It also includes guidance on evaluating financing options related to risk control, so revisions would typically ensure the material reflects current approaches to liability reduction, operational resilience, and evidence-informed management.
The second publication targeted for overhaul is the "Resource Guide for Jail Administrators," which functions as a broad leadership and operations handbook for jail administrators. It covers foundational topics such as the role and purpose of the jail, facility considerations, staffing and scheduling, recruiting and retention, training, security and safety, emergency preparedness, behavior management, discipline and grievance processes, special management populations, inmate services and programs, and intake and release. A key feature of this guide is its set of operational checklists that administrators can use to assess performance and effectiveness. Under this opportunity, the expectation is that chapters and checklists would be updated to match current standards, operational realities, staffing challenges, and contemporary approaches to management and accountability, while also improving usability for online reading and navigation.
The third publication is "A Guide to Responding to Jail Emergencies: Self-Audit Checklists, Resource Materials, and Case Studies," which is aimed at strengthening jail preparedness for crises, emergencies, and natural disasters. It includes guidance on conducting an audit, separate emergency preparedness self-audit checklists for smaller and larger jails, resource material on leadership during crises and emergency prevention, and case studies drawn from notable incidents (including a jail fire, a disturbance and escape in a direct supervision facility, hurricane impacts, and prison riot events used for lessons learned). The revision work would focus on aligning emergency planning and response guidance with current threats, modern incident management practices, and updated training and preparedness expectations, while preserving the practical, self-assessment orientation that allows facilities to identify gaps and plan improvements.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted in July 2020 with an original closing date of September 3, 2020. NIC anticipated making a single award, and eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally signals that the posted record does not specify a maximum dollar amount rather than indicating that no funds are available. Overall, the project is a structured modernization effort: refresh core NIC jail guidance documents so they reflect current evidence and field practice, and package them in a visually updated, web-ready format that today’s jail administrators and staff can use more easily.Apply for 20JD06
