Interstate Compact Success for You and Your State
SESSION INFO
Monday, August 23, 2021
3:00PM - 4:30PM
Session Type: Workshop
The Interstate Compact, enacted by all 50 states and 3 U.S. territories, controls and regulates the movement of offenders on supervision who move across state lines. It is a mechanism for transferring supervision responsibilities to a state other than the one where an offender is convicted and/or served his or her prison sentence. This workshop highlights how to successfully apply the compact rules and tools to address varying current issues and trends. Participants will interact with the hosts (presenters) through scenario based learning and skill building. These exercises will illustrate the importance of stakeholder involvement as well as tools available to improve operations and compliance with compact and instate processes. As application of the Compact Rules’ should align with states’ varying and evolving correctional practices, the exercises will illustrate how the rules apply in decisions or actions of varying stakeholders (including but not limited to courts, line officer staff, jail administrators and law enforcement). Scenarios discussed include effects and relationship of Compact Rules to decriminalization of states’ varying drug laws, methods for creating easy training tools, enforcement tools utilizing state council members to improve compliance and how reports available for compact staff can be used to identify problems and solutions. This workshop is intended for Community Supervision and Judicial professionals.
