The Violent Offender Incarceration and Truth-in-Sentencing (VOI/TIS) Grant Program, which is administered by OJP's Corrections Program Office (CPO), provides grants to "states," which includes any state of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands, for the purposes of building or expanding correctional facilities and jails to increase secure confinement space for violent offenders.

VOI/TIS funds are available for the following purposes:

Build or expand correctional facilities to increase the bed capacity for the confinement of persons convicted of a Part 1 violent crime or adjudicated delinquent for an act which, if committed by an adult, would be a Part 1 violent crime. NOTE: Part 1 violent crime includes murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault as reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for purposes of the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR).
Build or expand temporary or permanent correctional facilities, including facilities on military bases, prison barges, and boot camps, for the confinement of convicted nonviolent offenders and criminal aliens, for the purpose of freeing suitable existing prison space for the confinement of persons convicted of a Part 1 violent crime.
Build or expand jails.
Additionally, since FY 1999, up to 10 percent of a State's VOI/TIS award may be applied to the costs of offender drug testing or intervention programs during periods of incarceration and post-incarceration criminal justice supervision and/or pay the costs of providing the required reports on prison drug use.

The facilities built or expanded with these funds constitute nonfederal physical property. In FY 2000, amounts reflect expenditurers.
