N.J. Stat. § 30:8-16.4
The Legislature finds and declares that in order to more effectively protect society and promote efficiency and economy in the delivery of correctional services, there is a need for coordination between State and county correctional programs. The coordination which would be enhanced by a financial assistance program for the construction and renovation of county correctional facilities, would provide maximum-security incarceration at the State level of those offenders whose demonstrated propensity to violence requires their separation from society while at the same time developing viable alternatives to State confinement for those offenders who can be dealt with more effectively in county correctional facilities and programs.
