\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nWould you rather spend upwards of $91,000 a year to lock up\r\na juvenile offender or spend less money to prevent that?\r\nJuvenile Court Judge Council advocated the former at this morning’s\r\n\r\nLowndes County Commission Work Session<\/a>.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThis is about a potential new grant Emergency Director Ashley Tye said\r\nhe had been working on with Judge Council, applying to the\r\n\r\nJuvenile Justice Incentive Grant Program<\/a>\r\nwhich was approved by the legislator and governor this year.\r\n(Governor’s Executive Order of 16 April 2013\r\ndirecting the assembly of the Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant Funding\r\nCommittee to allocate to counties the\r\nfunding of $5 million approved by the legislature<\/a>.)\r\nLowndes County would act as the applicant agent or grant administrator\r\non behalf of the juvenile justice department,\r\nand Judge Council would serve as the implementing agency,\r\nworking with several groups such as LODAC\r\n(\r\nLowndes Drug Action Council, Inc.<\/a>).\r\nIf the grant is accepted, it will be awarded quickly, running\r\nfrom June to June.\r\nIt’s a reimbursement grant: make the expenses, submit a report, and \r\nget reimbursed from the grant.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
