## What the grant funds

INL seeks to assist the Kingdom of Morocco, through its Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and General Delegation for Prison Administration and Rehabilitation (DGAPR) in implementing a community corrections/ATI system. Moroccan prisons are regularly overcrowded, due largely to the lack of probation and parole options available to the accused. Those that are available under Moroccan law are rarely implemented. According to some reports, approximately 40% of all detainees in Morocco are held in pretrial detention. INL seeks to address overcrowding and pretrial detention rates by assisting the DGAPR and MOJ in developing a streamlined and effective ATI/community corrections regime within the framework of Morocco’s draft ATI law (if implemented). Additionally, the MOJ is actively working on developing a drug diversion program for non-violent offenders, and INL welcomes proposals that include rehabilitation and diversion programs in their work. Implementation of an effective community corrections program that utilizes ATI will improve the capacity of the justice and corrections sectors to provide equitable and efficient access to justice throughout the country. Though Morocco’s draft ATI law is expected to be passed in the near future, successful proposals will be designed to not be wholly contingent on the ATI law being passed into law.
