Cook County was awarded these funds based on specified strategies including the Supporting Education and Employment Development (SEED), Frequently Impacted, Warrants, Population Review Team, and Community Engagement.
As a part of the SJC deliverables, the Office of the Chief Judge and stake holders are required to enter into an agreement with the Institute for State and Local Governance (ISLG). The Agreement provides that ISLG will collect, consolidate, and analyze data from the sites for the purpose of establishing performance measures, monitoring those measures and conducting other analysis, and will, where appropriate, transfer such data to other entities working on the SJC for the purposes of evaluation, jail population projections, data-driven technical assistance, and other research to further understand the outcomes of the SJC. The Agreement provides clarity on the process for the use of sites’ SJC data for research purposes.
