submitted 18 years ago by Pub. L. 110-199 to r/title-34-CRIME-CONTROL-AND-LAW-ENFORCEMENT · 141 words · no verdicts yet
The Bureau of Prisons must let mentors keep helping offenders after they're released. The only exception is if a mentor poses a real security risk. By September 2009, the Director had to report to Congress on how well this policy worked.
(a) In general. No later than 90 days after April 9, 2008, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons had to adopt and put in place a policy. The goal is to promote stability and continued help for offenders after they leave prison. The policy must let anyone who mentors an incarcerated offender keep providing that mentoring after the offender is released. The only exception: the Director may block the continuation if the Director shows the mentoring would pose a significant security risk to the released offender, to incarcerated offenders, to the people providing the mentoring, or to any other person.
(b) Report. No later than September 30, 2009, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons had to send Congress a report on how much this policy has actually been carried out and followed.
Not later than 90 days after April 9, 2008, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons shall, in order to promote stability and continued assistance to offenders after release from prison, adopt and implement a policy to ensure that any person who provides mentoring services to an incarcerated offender is permitted to continue such services after that offender is released from prison. That policy shall permit the continuation of mentoring services unless the Director demonstrates that such services would be a significant security risk to the released offender, incarcerated offenders, persons who provide such services, or any other person.
Not later than September 30, 2009, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons shall submit to Congress a report on the extent to which the policy described in subsection (a) has been implemented and followed.
