Beyond Compliance: A National Exploration of Supervision Conditions, Trends, and Emerging Practices
Go Back

SESSION INFO

Tuesday, March 3, 2026
3:15 PM - 4:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
There is much variation in the way conditions of supervision are imposed, modified, and managed across the fifty states. To better understand these nuances, CJI has conducted a national landscape analysis through examination of publicly available information and the gathering of qualitative data from state agencies. This analysis includes the connection between imposition of conditions and individually assessed risk, need, and responsivity, the role of the officer/agent in modifying conditions, and the use of financial conditions, among other topics. Our methods included statutory and administrative analysis, a national survey, and several case studies focused on individual states. This workshop will review CJI’s landscape analysis, including key findings related to trends and policy considerations. Participants will then engage in an interactive breakout session where they will have the opportunity to consider how these findings relate to the use of supervision conditions in their own jurisdiction.
