Interstate Compact: Application of Risk, Needs and Responsivity Principles
SESSION INFO
Monday, January 27, 2025
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
The Interstate Compact is a mechanism for transferring supervision responsibilities to another state ensuring standardized procedures for approving, supervising and returning individuals to the sentencing state. This session explores the Interstate Compact's role in transferring supervision across states and how shifts in criminal justice practices have impacted its application. In 2023, ICAOS established a workgroup to assess the feasibility of incorporating risk, needs, and responsivity principles into the retaking process—returning individuals to their sentencing states. The session will highlight milestones in applying evidence-based practices (EBPs) to ICAOS rules, present findings from a national assessment on re-transferred retaking cases, and discuss ways to enhance policies and improve supervision practices.
