司法部拨款200万美元助路易斯安那州：州警实验室清DNA积压、惩教部门助200人重返社会
司法部（DOJ）10月19日宣布向路易斯安那州拨款共200万美元，两笔各100万美元，分别用于清理州警犯罪实验室的 DNA 分析积压，以及帮助处于重返社会阶段的人员获得治疗与过渡住房。宣布由路易斯安那中区联邦检察官办公室发布。
第一笔100万美元拨给路易斯安那州警局，供其犯罪实验室购置并整合关键技术，加快 DNA 分析周转、推进暴力犯罪案件处理。联邦检察官 Kurt Wall 表示：「DNA 分析是调查与起诉犯罪的关键工具，投入资金加快分析周转是值得的投资。」
第二笔100万美元拨给路易斯安那州公共安全与惩教部，用于为重返社会阶段的人员提供药物滥用与心理健康治疗及过渡住房，项目目标服务200名参与者，覆盖 East Baton Rouge 和/或大 New Orleans 地区的一个或多个堂区。Kurt Wall 表示，为重返社会阶段的人提供资源，是降低再犯率的经验证有效的方法。

DOJ Awards $2 Million to Louisiana: DNA Backlog Help for State Police, Reentry Support for 200 People
The Department of Justice announced on October 19 a total of $2 million in grants to Louisiana, in two awards of $1 million each, to clear the state police crime laboratory's DNA analysis backlog and to help people in reentry obtain treatment and transitional housing. The announcement was issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Louisiana.
The first $1 million goes to the Louisiana State Police, whose crime laboratory will purchase and integrate key technology to speed DNA analysis turnaround and advance violent-crime cases. U.S. Attorney Kurt Wall said DNA analysis is a critical tool for investigating and prosecuting crime and that investing to speed turnaround is a worthwhile investment.
The second $1 million goes to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections to provide substance-use and mental-health treatment and transitional housing for people in reentry. The program aims to serve 200 participants in one or more parishes in the East Baton Rouge and/or greater New Orleans areas. Wall said providing resources to people in reentry is a proven method of reducing recidivism.
Both awards were made through the Justice Department's Office of Justice Programs (OJP). (GSM, based on the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Louisiana release)
