    Sec. 10. Evidence-Based Programming.
    (a) Purpose. Research and practice have identified new
strategies and policies that can result in a significant
reduction in recidivism rates and the successful local
reintegration of offenders. The purpose of this Section is to
ensure that State and local agencies direct their resources to
services and programming that have been demonstrated to be
effective in reducing recidivism and reintegrating offenders
into the locality.
    (b) Evidence-based programming in local supervision.
        (1) The Parole Division of the Department of
    Corrections and the Prisoner Review Board shall adopt
    policies, rules, and regulations that, within the first
    year of the adoption, validation, and utilization of the
    statewide, standardized risk assessment tool described in
    this Act, result in at least 25% of supervised individuals
    being supervised in accordance with evidence-based
    practices; within 3 years of the adoption, validation, and
    utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment
    tool result in at least 50% of supervised individuals being
    supervised in accordance with evidence-based practices;
    and within 5 years of the adoption, validation, and
    utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment
    tool result in at least 75% of supervised individuals being
    supervised in accordance with evidence-based practices.
    The policies, rules, and regulations shall:
            (A) Provide for a standardized individual case
        plan that follows the offender through the criminal
        justice system (including in-prison if the supervised
        individual is in prison) that is:

            (C) Provide for the use of evidence-based
        programming related to education, job training,
        cognitive behavioral therapy, and other programming
        designed to reduce criminal behavior.
            (D) Establish a system of graduated responses.
                (i) The system shall set forth a menu of
            presumptive responses for the most common types of
            supervision violations.
                (ii) The system shall be guided by the model
            list of intermediate sanctions created by the
            Probation Services Division of the State of
            Illinois pursuant to subsection (1) of Section 15
            of the Probation and Probation Officers Act and the
            system of intermediate sanctions created by the
            Chief Judge of each circuit court pursuant to
            Section 5-6-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections.
                (iii) The system of responses shall take into
            account factors such as the severity of the current
            violation; the supervised individual's risk level
            as determined by a validated assessment tool
            described in this Act; the supervised individual's
            assets; his or her previous criminal record; and
            the number and severity of any previous
            supervision violations.
                (iv) The system shall also define positive
            reinforcements that supervised individuals may
            receive for compliance with conditions of
            supervision.
                (v) Response to violations should be swift and
            certain and should be imposed as soon as
            practicable but no longer than 3 working days of
            detection of the violation behavior.
