Justice Reinvestment Act of 2011 (H642)

• Strengthens probation supervision by implementing risk-based assessment tools to classify offenders by reoffending likelihood and using validated instruments to determine supervision levels.

• Extends post-release supervision for Class B1 through E felons from 9 to 12 months, while maintaining 9 months for Class F through I felons, and increases maximum sentences accordingly.

• Creates new status offense of habitual breaking and entering for offenders with prior breaking and entering convictions, sentencing them as Class E felons with consecutive sentences.

• Limits probation revocation to only violations of required supervision or absconding conditions for most offenders; other violations result in up to 90-day confinement periods rather than revocation.

• Establishes Treatment for Effective Community Supervision Program to provide evidence-based substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation services to high-risk probationers and post-release supervisees to reduce recidivism.
