+
+(B) generate a skills development plan for each prisoner to monitor skills enhancement and reentry readiness throughout incarceration;
+
+(C) determine program assignments for prisoners based on the areas of need identified through the assessment described in subparagraph (A);
+

+
+(E) coordinate and collaborate with other Federal agencies and with State, Tribal, and local criminal justice agencies, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations to help effectuate a seamless reintegration of prisoners into communities;
+
+(F) collect information about a prisoner’s family relationships, parental responsibilities, and contacts with children to help prisoners maintain important familial relationships and support systems during incarceration and after release from custody; and
+
+(G) provide incentives for prisoner participation in skills development programs.
+

+

+
+(1) to enhance case planning and implementation of reentry programs, policies, and guidelines;
+
+(2) to improve such transition to the community, including placement of such individuals in community corrections facilities; and

+
+(B) Tracking In carrying out this paragraph, the Director shall quantitatively track the progress in responding to the reentry needs and deficits of individual inmates.
+
+(C) Annual report On an annual basis, the Director shall prepare and submit to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives a report that documents the progress of the Bureau of Prisons in responding to the reentry needs and deficits of inmates.
+
+(D) Evaluation The Director shall ensure that—
+
+(i) the performance of each institution within the Bureau of Prisons in enhancing skills and resources to assist in reentry is measured and evaluated using recognized measurements; and
+

Such statistics shall be compiled separately for each such fiscal year.
+

+# 34 U.S.C. § 60551 - Offender reentry research
+
+## Text
+
+(a) National Institute of Justice The National Institute of Justice may conduct research on juvenile and adult offender reentry, including—
+
+(1) a study identifying the number and characteristics of minor children who have had a parent incarcerated, and the likelihood of such minor children becoming adversely involved in the criminal justice system some time in their lifetime;
+
+(2) a study identifying a mechanism to compare rates of recidivism (including rearrest, violations of parole, probation, post-incarceration supervision, and reincarceration) among States; and
+
+(3) a study on the population of offenders released from custody who do not engage in recidivism and the characteristics (housing, employment, treatment, family connection) of that population.
+
+(b) Bureau of Justice Statistics The Bureau of Justice Statistics may conduct research on offender reentry, including—
+
+(1) an analysis of special populations (including prisoners with mental illness or substance abuse disorders, female offenders, juvenile offenders, offenders with limited English proficiency, and the elderly) that present unique reentry challenges;
+
+(2) studies to determine which offenders are returning to prison, jail, or a juvenile facility and which of those returning offenders represent the greatest risk to victims and community safety;
+
+(3) annual reports on the demographic characteristics of the population reentering society from prisons, jails, and juvenile facilities;
+
+(4) a national recidivism study every 3 years;
+
+(5) a study of parole, probation, or post-incarceration supervision violations and revocations; and
+
+(6) a study concerning the most appropriate measure to be used when reporting recidivism rates (whether rearrest, reincarceration, or any other valid, evidence-based measure).
