Successful Supervision Through Interstate Compact
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 30, 2022
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
The Interstate Compact, enacted by all 50 states and 3 U.S. territories, controls and regulates the movement of individuals 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 eligibility criteria, the transfer process and how to successfully apply the compact rules and tools. Participants will interact with the hosts (presenters) through scenario-based learning and skill building. These exercises will breakdown the fundamental elements of a good transfer request and demonstrate how supervision is transferred through effective communication and cooperation among its member states. In addition, will present findings from the Commission’s most recent audit assessing case transfer documentation. Scenarios will demonstrate how the Interstate Compact creates circumstances for successful supervision in terms of life stability, positive/family relationships, means of support as well as access to resources or programs that benefit those on supervision. This workshop is intended for Community Supervision and Judicial professionals.
