Illinois SB1220 aims to reduce recidivism by implementing evidence-based practices in local supervision and in-prison programming.

Illinois SB1220 amends the Illinois Crime Reduction Act of 2009 to enhance criminal justice practices. The bill mandates that the Parole Division of the Department of Corrections and the Prisoner Review Board adopt policies and rules to ensure that within one year of adopting a statewide, standardized risk assessment tool, at least 25% of supervised individuals are under evidence-based supervision. Within three years, this should increase to 50%, and within five years, to 75%.
