Illinois Department of Corrections Transforming Parole
SESSION INFO
Monday, July 1, 2024
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Session Type: Workshop
The presentation will show how Illinois Parole is setting the standard in Parole Supervision and Re-entry, by having all agents field based for supervision, so they can work one on one with the individuals in the community. Also, with working with Behavioral Incorporated (BI), how we have transformed data collection so that more time is allotted to the agents, so they have more time for supervision in the community.
