Interstate Compact: Ensuring Successful Supervision Through Cooperative Solutions
SESSION INFO
Saturday, June 29, 2024
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Session Type: Workshop
The Interstate Compact is a mechanism for transferring supervision responsibilities to another state ensuring standardized procedures for approving and supervising individuals. This session will provide an understanding of the compact process and how changes in the criminal justice community as well as shifts in culture have impacted the application of Compact rules and procedures. Ensuring Successful Supervision through Cooperative Solutions is intended for community supervision and judicial professionals working in adult criminal justice systems across the country. The session will demonstrate how states balance Interstate Compact rule requirements with their impact on the individuals under supervision. Collaboration among state agencies, including community corrections, courts, jails, and other stakeholders, is critical to improving outcomes by allowing supervised individuals to be where they can be most successful while promoting public safety in their communities. During this workshop, we will showcase complex scenarios accompanied by effective communication strategies, as well as introduce new tools developed by the Commission that are available to equip agencies and staff within their respective jurisdictions.
