HR 5567 IH
(b) Enforcement of offender violations of condi-
tions of releases has sharply increased the number
of offenders who return to prison—while revocations
comprised 17 percent of State prison admissions in
1980, they rose to 36 percent in 1998.
(c) Although prisoners generally are serving
longer sentences than they did a decade ago, most
eventually reenter communities; for example, in
1999, approximately 538,000 State prisoners and
over 50,000 Federal prisoners—a record number—
were returned to American communities. Approxi-
mately 100,000 State offenders return to commu-
nities and received no supervision whatsoever.
(d) Historically, two-thirds of returning State
prisoners have been rearrested for new crimes within
three years, so these individuals pose a significant
public safety risk and a continuing financial burden
to society.
(e) A key element to effective post-incarceration
supervision in an immediate, predetermined, and ap-
propriate response to violations of the conditions of
supervision.
(f) An estimated 187,000 State and federal
prison inmates have been diagnosed with mental
health problems; about 70 percent of State prisoners
HR 5567 IH
and 57 percent of federal prisoners have a history of
drug abuse; and nearly 75 percent of released of-
fenders with heroin or cocaine problems return to
using drugs within three months if untreated; how-
ever, few States link prison mental health treatment
programs with those in the return community.
(g) Between 1987 and 1997, the volume of ju-
venile adjudicated cases resulting in court-ordered
residential placements rose 56 percent. In 1997
alone, there were a total of 163,200 juvenile court-
ordered residential placements. The steady increase
of youth exiting residential placement has strained
the juvenile justice aftercare system, however, with-
out adequate supervision and services, youth are
likely to relapse, recidivate, and return to confine-
ment at the public’s expense.
(h) Emerging technologies and multidisciplinary
community-based strategies present new opportuni-
ties to alleviate the public safety risk posed by re-
leased prisoners while helping offenders to reenter
their communities successfully.
SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Act are to—
(a) establish demonstration projects in several
federal judicial districts, the District of Columbia,
HR 5567 IH
and in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, using new
strategies and emerging technologies that alleviate
the public safety risk posed by released prisoners by
promoting their successful reintegration into the
community;
(b) establish court-based programs to monitor
the return of offenders into communities, using
court sanctions to promote positive behavior;
(c) establish offender reentry demonstration
projects in the states using government and commu-
nity partnerships to coordinate cost efficient strate-
gies that ensure public safety and enhance the suc-
cessful reentry into communities of offenders who
have completed their prison sentences;
(d) establish intensive aftercare demonstration
projects that address public safety and ensure the
special reentry needs of juvenile offenders by coordi-
nating the resources of juvenile correctional agen-
cies, juvenile courts, juvenile parole agencies, law en-
forcement agencies, social service providers, and
local Workforce Investment Boards; and
(e) rigorously evaluate these reentry programs
to determine their effectiveness in reducing recidi-
vism and promoting successful offender reintegra-
tion.
