provide grants to public and nonprofit private entities that provide 
treatment for substance abuse to individuals under criminal justice 
supervision.

(b) Eligibility

    In awarding grants under subsection (a) of this section, the 
Director shall ensure that the grants are reasonably distributed among--
        (1) projects that provide treatment services to individuals who 
    are incarcerated in prisons, jails, or community correctional 
    settings; and
        (2) projects that provide treatment services to individuals who 
    are not incarcerated, but who are under criminal justice supervision 
    because of their status as pretrial releasees, post-trial releasees, 
    probationers, parolees, or supervised releasees.

(c) Priority

    In awarding grants under subsection (a) of this section, the 
Director shall give priority to programs commensurate with the extent to 
which such programs provide, directly or in conjunction with other 
public or private nonprofit entities, one or more of the following--
        (1) a continuum of offender management services as individuals 
    enter, proceed through, and leave the criminal justice system, 
    including identification and assessment, substance abuse treatment, 
    pre-release counseling and pre-release referrals with respect to 
    housing, employment and treatment;
        (2) comprehensive treatment services for juvenile offenders;
        (3) comprehensive treatment services for female offenders, 
    including related services such as violence counseling, parenting 
    and child development classes, and perinatal care;
        (4) outreach services to identify individuals under criminal 
    justice supervision who would benefit from substance abuse treatment 
    and to encourage such individuals to seek treatment; or
        (5) treatment services that function as an alternative to 
    incarceration for appropriate categories of offenders or that 
    otherwise enable individuals to remain under criminal justice 
    supervision in the least restrictive setting consistent with public 
    safety.

(d) Authorization of appropriations

    For the purpose of carrying out this section, there are authorized 
to be appropriated $50,000,000 for fiscal year 1993, and such sums as
