subchapter as the `System'), which shall be used to--

        part of the intake process, and classify each prisoner as 
        having minimum, low, medium, or high risk for recidivism;

In carrying out this subsection, the Attorney General may use existing 
risk and needs assessment tools, as appropriate.
    ``(b) Assignment of Evidence-Based Recidivism Reduction Programs.--
The System shall provide guidance on the type, amount, and intensity of 
evidence-based recidivism reduction programming and productive 
activities that shall be assigned for each prisoner, including--
            ``(1) programs in which the Bureau of Prisons shall assign 
        the prisoner to participate, according to the prisoner's

        Prisons can tailor the programs to the specific criminogenic 
        needs of each prisoner so as to most effectively lower each 
        prisoner's risk of recidivism.
    ``(c) Housing and Assignment Decisions.--The System shall provide 
guidance on program grouping and housing assignment determinations and, 
after accounting for the safety of each prisoner and other individuals 
at the prison, provide that prisoners with a similar risk level be 
grouped together in housing and assignment decisions to the extent 
practicable.
    ``(d) Evidence-based Recidivism Reduction Program Incentives and 
Productive Activities Rewards.--The System shall provide incentives and 
rewards for prisoners to participate in and complete evidence-based 
recidivism reduction programs as follows:

        successfully participating in an evidence-based recidivism 
        reduction program shall receive--

                conferencing privileges, for up to 30 minutes per day,

                as determined by the warden of the prison.
            ``(2) Transfer to institution closer to release 
        residence.--A prisoner who is successfully participating in an 
        evidence-based recidivism reduction program shall be considered 
        by the Bureau of Prisons for placement in a facility closer to 
        the prisoner's release residence upon request from the prisoner 
        and subject to--

                prison at which the prisoner is incarcerated at the 
                time of making the request.

        Prisons shall develop additional policies to provide 
        appropriate incentives for successful participation and

        following:

                        assessments, has not increased their risk of 
                        recidivism, shall earn an additional 5 days of 
                        time credits for every 30 days of successful

        needs assessment system with the frequency required under such 
        section 3621.
            (2) Whether the Bureau of Prisons is able to offer 
        recidivism reduction programs and productive activities (as 
        such terms are defined in section 3635 of title 18, United 
        States Code).

        amount, and intensity of recidivism reduction programs and 
        productive activities for prisoners to earn the maximum amount 
        of time credits for which they are eligible.

        prerelease custody as soon as they are eligible for such a 
        transfer under section 3624(g) of title 18, United States Code.
            (8) The rates of recidivism among similarly classified 
        prisoners to identify any unwarranted disparities, including 
        disparities among similarly classified prisoners of different 
        demographic groups, in such rates.
