“D.C.’s Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants (OVSJG), which helps fund public safety initiatives, is searching for organizations that could collect feedback on the would-be redevelopment of the jail, located at 1901 D St. SE on an underdeveloped plot of land called Reservation 13. OVJSG released a solicitation for “stakeholder engagement” services around the “design and construction of a new correctional facility in the District” earlier this month.”
“The solicitation, which has not been previously reported, says “up to $150,000” is available from Jan 1. through Sept. 30, 2019 for a group that could create a report, website, or public presentation on the state of incarceration in D.C., “programing and services” that should be part of the D.C. Jail, and “space/design considerations” for constructing a new facility.”
