|
(b) Definitions. As used in this Act, unless the context |
clearly requires otherwise: |
(1) "Assets" are an offender's qualities or resources, |
such as family and other positive support systems, |
educational achievement, and employment history, that |
research has demonstrated will decrease the likelihood |
that the offender will re-offend and increase the |
likelihood that the offender will successfully reintegrate |
into the locality. |
(2) "Case plan" means a consistently updated written |
proposal that shall follow the offender through all phases |
of the criminal justice system, that is based on the |
offender's risks, assets, and needs as identified through |
the assessment tool described in this Act, and that |
outlines steps the offender shall take and the programs in |
which the offender shall participate to maximize the |
offender's ability to be rehabilitated. |
(3) "Conditions of supervision" include conditions |
described in Section 5-6-3.1 of the Unified Code of |
Corrections.
|
(4) "Evidence-based practices" means policies, |
procedures, programs, and practices that have been |
demonstrated to reduce recidivism among incarcerated |
individuals and individuals on local supervision. |
(5) "Local supervision" includes supervision in |
local-based, non-incarceration settings under such |
|
conditions and reporting requirements as are imposed by the |
court or the Prisoner Review Board. |
(6) "Needs" include an offender's criminogenic |
qualities, skills, and experiences that can be altered in |
ways that research has demonstrated will minimize the |
offender's chances of re-offending and maximize the |
offender's chances of successfully reintegrating into the |
locality. |
(6.5) "Offender" means a person charged with or |
convicted of a probation-eligible offense. |
(7) "Risks" include the attributes of an offender that |
are commonly considered to be those variables, such as age, |
prior criminal history, history of joblessness, and lack of |
education that research has demonstrated contribute to an |
offender's likelihood of re-offending and impact an |
offender's ability to successfully reintegrate into the |
locality. |
(8) (Blank). "Violent offender" means a person |
convicted of a violent crime as defined in subsection (c) |
of Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses |
Act.

Sec. 20. Adult Redeploy Illinois.
|
(a) Purpose. When offenders are accurately assessed for |
|
risk, assets, and needs, it is possible to identify which |
people should be sent to prison and which people can be |
effectively supervised in the locality. By providing financial |
incentives to counties or judicial circuits to create effective |
local-level evidence-based services, it is possible to reduce |
crime and recidivism at a lower cost to taxpayers. Based on |
this model, this Act hereby creates the Adult Redeploy Illinois |
program for probation-eligible offenders who do not fall under |
the definition of violent offenders in order to increase public |
safety and encourage the successful local supervision of |
eligible offenders and their reintegration into the locality. |
(b) The Adult Redeploy Illinois program shall reallocate |
State funds to local jurisdictions that successfully establish |
a process to assess offenders and provide a continuum of |
locally based sanctions and treatment alternatives for |
offenders who would be incarcerated in a State facility if |
those local services and sanctions did not exist. The allotment |
of funds shall be based on a formula that rewards local |
jurisdictions for the establishment or expansion of local |
supervision programs and requires them to pay the amount |
determined in subsection (e) if incarceration targets as |
defined in subsection (e) are not met. |
(c) Each county or circuit participating in the Adult |
Redeploy Illinois program shall create a local plan describing |
how it will protect public safety and reduce the county or |
circuit's utilization of incarceration in State facilities or |
|
local county jails by the creation or expansion of |
individualized services or programs. |
(d) Based on the local plan, a county or circuit shall |
enter into an agreement with the Adult Redeploy Oversight Board |
described in subsection (e) to reduce the number of commitments |
of probation-eligible offenders to State correctional |
facilities from that county or circuit, excluding violent |
offenders. The agreement shall include a pledge from the county |
or circuit to reduce their commitments by 25% of the level of |
commitments from the average number of commitments for the past |
3 years of eligible non-violent offenders. In return, the |
county or circuit shall receive, based upon a formula described |
in subsection (e), funds to redeploy for local programming for |
offenders who would otherwise be incarcerated such as |
management and supervision, electronic monitoring, and drug |
testing. The county or circuit shall also be penalized, as |
described in subsection (e), for failure to reach the goal of |
reduced commitments stipulated in the agreement. |
(e) Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board; members; |
responsibilities. |
(1) The Secretary of Human Services and the Director of |
Corrections shall within 3 months after the effective date |
of this Act convene and act as co-chairs of an oversight |
board to oversee the Adult Redeploy Program. The Board |
shall include, but not be limited to, designees from the |
Prisoner Review Board, Office of the Attorney General, |
|
Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, and |
Sentencing Policy Advisory Council; the Cook County |
State's Attorney; a State's Attorney selected by the |
President of the Illinois State's Attorneys Association; |
the State Appellate Defender; the Cook County Public |
Defender; a representative of Cook County Adult Probation, |
a representative of DuPage County Adult Probation; a |
representative of Sangamon County Adult Probation; and 4 |
representatives from non-governmental organizations, |
including service providers. |
(2) The Oversight Board shall within one year after the |
effective date of this Act: |
(A) Develop a process to solicit applications from |
and identify jurisdictions to be included in the Adult |
Redeploy Illinois program. |
(B) Define categories of membership for local |
entities to participate in the creation and oversight |
of the local Adult Redeploy Illinois program. |
(C) Develop a formula for the allotment of funds to |
local jurisdictions for local and community-based |
services in lieu of commitment to the Department of |
Corrections and a penalty amount for failure to reach |
the goal of reduced commitments stipulated in the |
plans. |
(D) Develop a standard format for the local plan to |
be submitted by the local entity created in each county |
|
or circuit. |
(E) Identify and secure resources sufficient to |
support the administration and evaluation of Adult |
Redeploy Illinois. |
(F) Develop a process to support ongoing |
monitoring and evaluation of Adult Redeploy Illinois. |
(G) Review local plans and proposed agreements and |
approve the distribution of resources. |
(H) Develop a performance measurement system that |
includes but is not limited to the following key |
performance indicators: recidivism, rate of |
revocations, employment rates, education achievement, |
successful completion of substance abuse treatment |
programs, and payment of victim restitution. Each |
county or circuit shall include the performance |
measurement system in its local plan and provide data |
annually to evaluate its success.
|
(I) Report annually the results of the performance |
measurements on a timely basis to the Governor and |
General Assembly.
