Explanation	The Council of State Governments Justice Center worked in FY 13 to advance criminal justice issues on Capitol Hill and with the Administration, including 1) efforts to ensure funding, reauthorization, and the successful implementation of the Second Chance Act; 2) secure funding support for a Justice Reinvestment Congressional initiative; and 3) raise awareness on Capitol Hill about state corrections challenges, prisoner reentry and recidivism reduction efforts. Second Chance The Justice Center coordinated efforts to secure funding for the grant programs that the Second Chance Act authorizes for fiscal years 2013 and 2014. Activities included work with the Hill to submit to Congress a letter in support of FY2014 funding. The FY14 Criminal, Justice, Science appropriations bills released by the House included a mark of $55 million and $25 million in the Senate. In November of 2013, the Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2013 was introduced in both the House and Senate by Senators Leahy and Portman and Congressmen Sensenbrenner, Davis, Coble, Scott, Bachus, Conyers, Chabot, and Fudge. In the past year CSG has organized several events to highlight the importance of recidivism and reentry, including several congressional staff briefings in House and Senate offices to discuss the Second Chance Act. In November 2013, the Justice Center also released a report highlighting Second Chance grantees. Coordinating closely with key congressional champions, CSG helped disseminate the report to over 200 key Members of Congress, including a large volume of staff meetings to reinforce existing congressional support for reentry and cultivate new champions. Justice Reinvestment The Justice Center has also focused on Justice Reinvestment appropriations and the introduction of an authorization bill. In April 2012, nine state leaders convened in Washington DC for a series of congressional meetings and briefings. Two important briefings were conducted with the Executive Branch, including representatives from the Domestic Policy Council, and the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Justice. A third briefing was held for congressional staff. The nine state representatives met with members of their congressional delegations. Additionally, a meeting was held with Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia to discuss appropriations for Justice Reinvestment. The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) approved the fiscal year 2014 bill that funds Department of Justice (DOJ) programs, including $25 M for the Justice Reinvestment Initiative. The full Senate Appropriations Committee approved the CJS bill with an allocation of $30 Million for the Justice Reinvestment Initiative for FY 2014. State Lobbying The Justice Center worked with government affairs consultants in Kansas and West Virginia to raise awareness and educate policymakers regarding justice reinvestment legislation being considered by the legislature. This legislation was informed by analyses and technical assistance we provided both states at the request of their governor, legislative leaders, and other state officials.	Explanation
