BILLING CODE 4830–01–P

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Parole Commission

28 CFR Part 2

Paroling, Recommitting, and

Supervising Federal Prisoners:

Revision of the Salient Factor Score

AGENCY: Parole Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Parole Commission

is proposing to revise the Salient Factor

Score at 28 CFR 2.20. The Salient Factor

Score which is an actuarial table that

the Commission uses to measure the

potential risk of parole violation. This

revision is designed to improve the

accuracy of the Salient Factor Score

with respect to older offenders. The

Commission is proposing to add one

point to a prisoner’s total score if the

current offense (or parole violation) was

committed at age 41 or older, provided

the prisoner does not already have the

highest possible total score (10). This

revision will give to the Salient Factor

Score improved risk prediction

accuracy. The revision is made

appropriate by the fact that the Parole

Commission has jurisdiction over an

aging population of prisoners and

parolees whose crimes were committed

prior to November 1, 1987.

DATES: Comments must be received by

June 12, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Office of

General Counsel, U.S. Parole

Commission, 5550 Friendship Blvd.,

Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815. For

further information contact: Pamela A.

Posch, Office of General Counsel,

Telephone (301) 492–5959.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Salient Factor Score at 28 CFR 2.20 is

an actuarial device, based upon

statistical research, that permits the U.S.

Parole Commission to make a prediction

as to the probability of future parole

violation. It is applied to every prisoner

who appears for an initial parole

hearing, and to every parolee who has

been returned to prison as a parole

violator. The current version of the

Salient Factor Score (SFS–81) was

adopted in 1981, and was recently revalidated through a study of the parole

records of federal prisoners released in

1987. This and other validation studies

have shown that the Salient Factor

Score is able to separate prisoners into

categories having significantly different

probabilities of recidivism, and that it

continues to have a high degree of

predictive accuracy.

However, with the aging of the Parole

Commission’s ‘‘old law’’ offender

population, it has become apparent that

the accuracy of the Salient Factor Score

could be improved by accounting for the

factor of ‘‘age at current offense’’ in the

case of older offenders and parole

violators. (The U.S. Parole

Commission’s jurisdiction is limited to

offenders whose crimes were committed

prior to November 1, 1987. See Section

235 of the Sentencing Reform Act of

1984, which appears as an Editorial

Note to 18 U.S.C. 3551.)

The Commission has long recognized

that many criminal offenders eventually

‘‘burn out’’ as the aging process catches

up with them. In a 1984 study by the

Commission’s Research Office, entitled

‘‘Burnout—Age At Release From Prison

and Recidivism’’, it was found that

recidivism rates do decline with

increased age, and that it would be

justifiable to improve the scores of

prisoners whose current offense was

committed at age 41 or older. At the

present time, the average age of the ‘‘old

law’’ prison population is 43. Thus, it

has now become appropriate to consider

adding this factor to the score.

In order to test the accuracy of the

proposed revision, the revised score was
