Risk and Needs Assessment System/Earned Time Credits (Title I)
The First Step Act required the Department of Justice to develop a risk and needs assessment tool to be used by the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) to assess the recidivism risk of all federal prisoners. Inmates are classified as minimum, low, medium or high risk, and are placed in recidivism reduction programs based on identified needs.
