WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), through the Office of Justice Programs, has awarded $423,402 to the North Dakota Department of Corrections Division of Juvenile Services in Bismarck. Today’s grant, authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act, will be used to support improvements to the juvenile justice system through prevention and intervention efforts. This includes developing effective education, training, research, prevention, diversion, treatment and rehabilitation programs to keep youth engaged in school and out of the juvenile justice system.
