Grants can be used for the following purposes:
(1) to strengthen tribal criminal justice systems to assist Indian tribes in exercising special Tribal criminal jurisdiction, including—

(A) law enforcement (including the capacity of law enforcement, court personnel, or other non-law enforcement entities that have no Federal or State arrest authority but have been designated by an Indian tribe as responsible for maintaining public safety within the territorial jurisdiction of the Indian tribe, to enter information into and obtain information from national crime information databases);
(B) prosecution;
(C) trial and appellate courts (including facilities maintenance, renovation, and rehabilitation);
(D) supervision systems;
(E) detention and corrections (including facilities maintenance, renovation, and rehabilitation);
(F) treatment, rehabilitation, and reentry programs and services;
(G) culturally appropriate services and assistance for victims and their families; and
(H) criminal codes and rules of criminal procedure, appellate procedure, and evidence;

(2) to provide indigent criminal defendants with the licensed defense counsel, at no cost to the defendant, in criminal proceedings in which a participating tribe prosecutes covered crimes;
(3) to ensure that, in criminal proceedings in which a participating tribe exercises special Tribal criminal jurisdiction, jurors are summoned, selected, and instructed in a manner consistent with all applicable requirements; and
(4) to accord victims of covered crimes rights that are similar to the rights of a crime victim described in section 3771 (a) of title 18, consistent with tribal law and custom.
