‘‘(A) implement and complete the initial in-
take risk and needs assessment for each pris-

years after the date on which the Bureau of 
Prisons completes a risk and needs assessment

tions, with any of the following:

section as the ‘System’) in an amount that is 
equal to the remainder of the prisoner’s im-

reduction or has maintained a minimum or low 
recidivism risk, during the prisoner’s term of 
imprisonment;

ger to society if transferred to prerelease 
custody;
‘‘(II) the prisoner has made a good 
faith effort to lower their recidivism risk 
through participation in recidivism reduc-
tion programs or productive activities;

appropriate. 
‘‘(ii) ALTERNATE
MEANS
OF
MONI-
TORING.—If the electronic monitoring of a
prisoner described in clause (i)(I) is infea-
sible for technical or religious reasons, the 
Director of the Bureau of Prisons may use 
alternative means of monitoring a prisoner 
placed in home confinement that the Direc-
tor determines are as effective or more ef-
fective than the electronic monitoring de-
scribed in clause (i)(I). 
‘‘(iii) MODIFICATIONS.—The Director 
of the Bureau of Prisons may modify the 
conditions described in clause (i) if the Di-
rector determines that a compelling reason 
exists to do so, and that the prisoner has 
demonstrated exemplary compliance with 
such conditions.

in paragraph (4), a prisoner who is placed 
in home confinement shall remain in home

termining appropriate conditions for prisoners 
placed in prerelease custody pursuant to this sub-
section, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons shall,

less restrictive conditions shall be imposed on pris-
oners who demonstrate continued compliance with 
the conditions of such prerelease custody, so as to 
most effectively prepare such prisoners for reentry. 
‘‘(4) VIOLATIONS OF CONDITIONS.—If a pris-
oner violates a condition of the prisoner’s prerelease 
custody, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons may 
impose such additional conditions on the prisoner’s 
prerelease custody as the Director of the Bureau of 
Prisons determines appropriate, or revoke the pris-
oner’s prerelease custody and require the prisoner to 
serve the remainder of the term of imprisonment to 
which the prisoner was sentenced, or any portion 
thereof, in prison. 
‘‘(5) ISSUANCE OF GUIDELINES.—The Attorney 
General, in consultation with the Assistant Director 
for the Office of Probation and Pretrial Services,
shall issue guidelines, for use by the Bureau of Pris-

custody and level of supervision for a prisoner 
placed on prerelease custody pursuant to this 
subsection; and

dition of such prerelease custody by such a pris-

BATION AND PRETRIAL SERVICES.—The Director of

and Pretrial Services shall, to the greatest extent 
practicable, offer assistance to any prisoner not 
under its supervision during prerelease custody 
under this subsection. 
‘‘(8) MENTORING
SERVICES.—Any prerelease 
custody into which a prisoner is placed under this 
subsection may not include a condition prohibiting 
the prisoner from receiving mentoring services from 
a person who provided such services to the prisoner 
while the prisoner was incarcerated, except that the 
warden of the facility at which the prisoner was in-
carcerated may waive the requirement under this 
paragraph if the warden finds that the provision of 
such services would pose a significant security risk 
to the prisoner, persons who provide such services, 
or any other person. The warden shall provide writ-
ten notice of any such waiver to the person providing 
mentoring services and to the prisoner.

LIMITS

the risk and needs assessment system with the fre-
quency required under such section 3621.

the type, amount, and intensity of recidivism reduc-
tion programs and productive activities for prisoners
