3.
(a)The
purposes of the Act are—
(1)to break the cycle
of criminal recidivism, increase public safety, and help States, local units of
government, and Indian Tribes, better address the growing population of
criminal offenders who return to their communities and commit new
crimes;
(2)to rebuild ties
between offenders and their families, while the offenders are incarcerated and
after reentry into the community, to promote stable families and
communities;
(3)to encourage the
development and support of, and to expand the availability of, evidence-based
programs that enhance public safety and reduce recidivism, such as substance
abuse treatment, alternatives to incarceration, and comprehensive reentry
services;
(4)to protect the
public and promote law-abiding conduct by providing necessary services to
offenders, while the offenders are incarcerated and after reentry into the
community, in a manner that does not confer luxuries or privileges upon such
offenders;
(5)to assist
offenders reentering the community from incarceration to establish a
self-sustaining and law-abiding life by providing sufficient transitional
services for as short of a period as practicable, not to exceed one year,
unless a longer period is specifically determined to be necessary by a medical
or other appropriate treatment professional; and
(6)to provide
offenders in prisons, jails or juvenile facilities with educational, literacy,
vocational, and job placement services to facilitate re-entry into the
community.
(b)Congress
finds the following:
(1)In 2002, over
7,000,000 people were incarcerated in Federal or State prisons or in local
jails. Nearly 650,000 people are released from Federal and State incarceration
into communities nationwide each year.
(2)There are over
3,200 jails throughout the United States, the vast majority of which are
operated by county governments. Each year, these jails will release more than
10,000,000 people back into the community.
(3)Recent studies indicate that over
2/3 of released State prisoners are expected to be
rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years after
release.
(4)According to the
Bureau of Justice Statistics, expenditures on corrections alone increased from
$9,000,000,000 in 1982, to $59,600,000,000 in 2002. These figures do not
include the cost of arrest and prosecution, nor do they take into account the
cost to victims.
(5)The Serious and
Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) provided $139,000,000 in funding
for State governments to develop and implement education, job training, mental
health treatment, and substance abuse treatment for serious and violent
offenders. This Act seeks to build upon the innovative and successful State
reentry programs developed under the SVORI, which terminated after fiscal year
2005.
(6)Between 1991 and
1999, the number of children with a parent in a Federal or State correctional
facility increased by more than 100 percent, from approximately 900,000 to
approximately 2,000,000. According to the Bureau of Prisons, there is evidence
to suggest that inmates who are connected to their children and families are
more likely to avoid negative incidents and have reduced sentences.
(7)Released prisoners
cite family support as the most important factor in helping them stay out of
prison. Research suggests that families are an often underutilized resource in
the reentry process.
(8)Approximately
100,000 juveniles (ages 17 years and under) leave juvenile correctional
facilities, State prison, or Federal prison each year. Juveniles released from
secure confinement still have their likely prime crime years ahead of them.
Juveniles released from secure confinement have a recidivism rate ranging from
55 to 75 percent. The chances that young people will successfully transition
into society improve with effective reentry and aftercare programs.
(9)Studies have shown
that between 15 percent and 27 percent of prisoners expect to go to homeless
shelters upon release from prison.
(10)Fifty-seven
percent of Federal and 70 percent of State inmates used drugs regularly before
going to prison, and the Bureau of Justice statistics report titled
Trends in State Parole, 1990–2000
estimates the use of drugs or
alcohol around the time of the offense that resulted in the incarceration of
the inmate at as high as 84 percent.
(11)Family-based
treatment programs have proven results for serving the special populations of
female offenders and substance abusers with children. An evaluation by the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of family-based
treatment for substance-abusing mothers and children found that 6 months after
such treatment, 60 percent of the mothers remained alcohol and drug free, and
drug-related offenses declined from 28 percent to 7 percent. Additionally, a
2003 evaluation of residential family-based treatment programs revealed that 60
percent of mothers remained clean and sober 6 months after treatment, criminal
arrests declined by 43 percent, and 88 percent of the children treated in the
program with their mothers remained stabilized.
(12)A Bureau of
Justice Statistics analysis indicated that only 33 percent of Federal inmates
and 36 percent of State inmates had participated in residential in-patient
treatment programs for alcohol and drug abuse 12 months before their release.
Further, over one-third of all jail inmates have some physical or mental
disability and 25 percent of jail inmates have been treated at some time for a
mental or emotional problem.
(13)State Substance
Abuse Agency Directors, also known as Single State Authorities, manage the
publicly funded substance abuse prevention and treatment system of the Nation.
Single State Authorities are responsible for planning and implementing
statewide systems of care that provide clinically appropriate substance abuse
services. Given the high rate of substance use disorders among offenders
reentering our communities, successful reentry programs require close
interaction and collaboration with each Single State Authority as the program
is planned, implemented, and evaluated.
(14)According to the
National Institute of Literacy, 70 percent of all prisoners function at the
lowest literacy levels.
(15)Less than 32
percent of State prison inmates have a high school diploma or a higher level of
education, compared to 82 percent of the general population.
(16)Approximately 38
percent of inmates who completed 11 years or less of school were not working
before entry into prison.
(17)The percentage of
State prisoners participating in educational programs decreased by more than 8
percent between 1991 and 1997, despite growing evidence of how educational
programming while incarcerated reduces recidivism.
(18)The National
Institute of Justice has found that 1 year after release, up to 60 percent of
former inmates are not employed.
(19)Transitional jobs
programs have proven to help people with criminal records to successfully
return to the workplace and to the community, and therefore can reduce
recidivism.
4.Definition of
Indian tribeIn this Act, the
term Indian Tribe
has the meaning given that term in section 901
of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C.
3791).
5.Submission of
reports to CongressNot later
than January 31 of each year, the Attorney General shall submit to the
Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary of
the House of Representatives each report required by the Attorney General under
this Act or an amendment made by this Act during the preceding year.
6.Nothing in this
Act or an amendment made by this Act shall be construed as creating a right or
entitlement to assistance or services for any individual, program, or grant
recipient. Each grant made under this Act or an amendment made by this Act
shall—
(1)be made as
competitive grants to eligible entities for a 12-month period, except that
grants awarded under section 113, 201, 211, and 212 may be made for a 24-month
period; and
(2)require that
services for participants, when necessary and appropriate, be transferred from
programs funded under this Act or the amendment made by this Act, respectively,
to State and community-based programs not funded under this Act or the
amendment made by this Act, respectively, before the expiration of the
grant.
