The number of people incarcerated in federal prisons increased
dramatically over the past three decades. While research indicates
that the expanded use of incarceration during the 1980s and 1990s
contributed to the declining crime rate, the effect was likely
small, and it has likely reached the point of diminishing returns.
Chapter 1 provides information on the use of risk and needs
assessment instruments. This includes a discussion of the
Risk-Needs-Responsivity principles, which have become the dominant
paradigm for reducing the likelihood of recidivism among convicted
offenders and concludes with a discussion of the issues
policymakers might consider if they debate legislation to expand
the use of risk and needs assessment in the federal prison system.
The justice system and the Bureau of Prisons also have a
responsibility to help rehabilitate that person and help the inmate
have a successful reentry back into our communities as reported in
chapter 2.
