Projects representing the greatest needs at detention and related facilities are prioritized as part of the process of obtaining Congressional appropriations to fund the projects.

Depending upon the size and complexity of the overall construction, improvement or repair project it may take several increments of funding assistance to complete the entire projects; often an initial award is issued as a new contract with second and subsequent funding increments issued as renewals to existing contracts. Criteria to evaluate projects emphasize eliminating critical health and safety related deficiencies and reducing the substantial backlog of needed improvement and repairs. Projects are prioritized on a Bureau-wide basis using a computerized formula that evaluates the seriousness of the deficiencies and the relative risks of those deficiencies to facility users. To be considered it is essential that the deficiencies and projects for a Bureau funded facility be identified in the automated inventory of Bureau facilities. In addition there are limited funds provided under this program to address safety and health deficiencies on an immediate or interim basis as well as funds for emergency repairs under certain conditions, and for other purposes.
