Hall seeks grant to study helping inmates rejoin society
Placeholder Image
Hall County applied in March for a federal grant to study a program to support reintegration of recently released inmates into society, county officials said. The Justice Department grant, called The Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program, totals $50,000. Jessica Robinson, grants manager for Hall County, said if awarded, those funds would help create an advisory council and part-time overseer to explore the feasibility of such a program over one year. “(The members will) spend that time looking at other programs, researching other funding sources, things like that, and come up with what we want to do,” she said.
