Annually, the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, in consultation with the Director of the Bureau of Prisons and the United States Sentencing Commission, shall calculate a revocation reduction incentive payment for each eligible judicial district, pursuant to section 201, for the most recently completed calendar year, as follows: For a tier 1 district, the district’s revocation reduction incentive payment is equal to the estimated number of supervisees successfully prevented from being sent to prison, as defined by section 201(b)(4) multiplied by 45 percent of the costs to the Director of the Bureau of Prisons to incarcerate a supervisee who is revoked to prison, as defined in section 201(b)(1).
For a tier 2 judicial district, its revocation rate shall equal the estimated number of supervisees successfully prevented from being sent to prison, as defined by section 201(b)(4) multiplied by 40 percent of the costs to the Bureau of Prisons to incarcerate in prison a supervisee whose supervision is revoked. Annually, the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, in consultation with the Director of the Bureau of Prisons and the United States Sentencing Commission, shall calculate 5 percent of the total savings attributed to those districts that successfully reduce the number of supervisees revoked to prison for the purposes of providing high-performance grants.
A judicial district is eligible for a high-performance grant if it is a district— with supervisee revocation rates more than 50 percent below the nationwide average in the most recently completed calendar year; and that has not exceeded the national revocation rate for the past three calendar years. The Administrative Office of the United States Courts may make a high performance grant to a district in a year in which that district does not also receive a supervision revocation reduction payment under subsection (a).
The chief probation officer, in consultation with the chief judge, in a judicial district that qualifies for both a high performance grant and a supervision revocation reduction payment shall inform the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, by a date designated by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, whether the judicial district should receive the high performance grant or the supervision failure reduction incentive payment. The Administrative Office of the United States Courts shall seek to ensure that each qualifying judicial district that submits a qualifying application for a high performance grant receives a proportionate share of the grant funding available, based on the population of adults age 18 to 25, inclusive, in that judicial district.
The Administrative Office of the United States Courts shall disburse the revocation reduction incentive payments and high performance grants calculated for any calendar year to judicial districts in the following fiscal year.
