Summary
The primary purpose of the Performance Incentive Grant Fund (PIGF) Program is to reduce Maryland's State and local incarcerated population through appropriate diversion, deflection, service provision, and recidivism reduction resources. The fund was established through savings generated from Maryland's Justice Reinvestment Act (JRA) to provide for county-led innovations and state expansions of programming that were prioritized by Maryland's Justice Reinvestment Coordinating Council (JRCC).
The JRA reforms are centered on safely reducing Maryland's prison population by incorporating evidence-based programming, improving reentry outcomes, reducing collateral consequences of incarceration, establishing connections to community treatment and support for nonviolent offenders with behavioral health needs.
The following is a listing of services, activities, and costs that are eligible for support with PIGF funds:
- Personnel
