The National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) will jointly host the upcoming webinars, sponsored by a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), U.S. Department of Justice.

The March 30 webinar will provide a brief informational overview on:

• the basic structure of the long-term detention report mandated by the TLOA;
• the process for input; and
• a summary of federal progress thus far.

Following the introductory overview, the major focus of this working webinar will be to gather input and feedback and answer questions from tribal leaders, justice professionals, and various other stakeholders.
