In Section 4 On Page 002
On page 2, as the last paragraph of proviso, INSERT the following:
From the funds in Specific Appropriations 603 through 781, the
Department of Corrections may contract with a provider to implement an
evidence-based risk/needs analysis pilot program using established risk
assessment tools to analyze the inmate population at an appropriate
facility. The risk/needs assessment tool will allow the department to
focus resources and treatment on those inmates with the greatest risk to
re-offend and will assist the department in determining appropriate
programming for lower risk inmates that may be better served in day
reporting centers or other similar programs. The findings should
include an analysis of whether implementing an evidence-based risk
analysis across the entire inmate population would reduce state
expenditures and recidivism rates. The department shall report its
findings to the chairs of the House Full Appropriations Council on
General Government and Health Care and Senate Policy and Steering
Committee on Ways and Means no later than January 31, 2011.
