                                 A BILL


 
To authorize funding for successful reentry of criminal offenders into 
                           local communities.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Offender Reentry and Community 
Safety Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) There are now nearly 1,900,000 individuals in our 
        country's prisons and jails, including over 140,000 individuals 
        under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
            (2) Enforcement of offender violations of conditions 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.
            (3) 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. Approximately 100,000 
        State offenders return to communities and received no 
        supervision whatsoever.
            (4) Historically, two-thirds of returning State prisoners 
        have been rearrested for new crimes within 3 years, so these 
        individuals pose a significant public safety risk and a 
        continuing financial burden to society.
            (5) A key element to effective post-incarceration 
        supervision is an immediate, predetermined, and appropriate 
        response to violations of the conditions of supervision.
            (6) An estimated 187,000 State and Federal prison inmates 
        have been diagnosed with mental health problems; about 70 
        percent of State prisoners and 57 percent of Federal prisoners 
        have a history of drug use or abuse; and nearly 75 percent of 
        released offenders with heroin or cocaine problems return to 
        using drugs within 3 months if untreated; however, few States 
        link prison mental health treatment programs with those in the 
        return community.
            (7) Between 1987 and 1997, the volume of juvenile 
        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, 
        without adequate supervision and services, youth are likely to 
        relapse, recidivate, and return to confinement at the public's 
        expense.
            (8) Emerging technologies and multidisciplinary community-
        based strategies present new opportunities to alleviate the 
        public safety risk posed by released prisoners while helping 
        offenders to reenter their communities successfully.

 SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this Act are to--
            (1) establish demonstration projects in several Federal 
        judicial districts, the District of Columbia, 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;
            (2) establish court-based programs to monitor the return of 
        offenders into communities, using court sanctions to promote 
        positive behavior;
            (3) establish offender reentry demonstration projects in 
        the states using government and community partnerships to 
        coordinate cost efficient strategies that ensure public safety 
        and enhance the successful reentry into communities of 
        offenders who have completed their prison sentences;
            (4) establish intensive aftercare demonstration projects 
        that address public safety and ensure the special reentry needs 
        of juvenile offenders by coordinating the resources of juvenile 
        correctional agencies, juvenile courts, juvenile parole 
        agencies, law enforcement agencies, social service providers, 
        and local Workforce Investment Boards; and
            (5) rigorously evaluate these reentry programs to determine 
        their effectiveness in reducing recidivism and promoting 
        successful offender reintegration.
