RRF Awards: Project Descriptions

The Judicial Council of California awarded grants to various Superior Courts across the state from fiscal years 2014/15 to 2016/17 to fund programs aimed at reducing recidivism through enhanced pretrial and collaborative court services. These grants supported the planning and implementation of various initiatives, including pretrial supervision programs, risk assessment tools, and collaborative efforts involving mental health, substance abuse treatment, and domestic violence interventions. Specific programs were designed to improve judicial decision-making, increase public safety, and ensure compliance with pretrial release conditions, with the overarching goal of reducing the likelihood of reoffending among targeted populations such as veterans, mentally ill offenders, and substance abusers.
