There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this Act $50,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2016 through 2020. Of the amount appropriated under this subsection, 80 percent shall be reserved for use by the Director of the Bureau of Prisons to implement the System under section 7 and the amendments made by that section. It is the sense of Congress that any savings associated with reducing recidivism and reducing the prison population that result from this Act should be reinvested into further expansion of recidivism reduction programs and productive activities by the Bureau of Prisons.
