The Jails and Justice Support Center: A vital resource for the nation’s jails

The Jails and Justice Support Center (JJSC) assists jails in operating safe, humane, and effective environments for their populations, including incarcerated individuals, staff, and visitors. We help jail leaders identify and address policies, procedures, and protocols to decrease the likelihood of a death in custody and/or respond to a death(s) in custody. At the Sheriff’s or CEO’s request, the JJSC delivers expert guidance on the identified core topic(s), those topics critical to preventing deaths in jail settings. The JJSC also serves as a single point of entry for other federally funded programs and resources.
