Intensive Supervision Programs

Intensive Supervision Programs (ISPs) are oversight systems used for individuals who have been convicted of crimes but are allowed to serve their sentences outside traditional prison settings under strict conditions. Participants must regularly meet with probation officers, follow specific rules, and often undergo drug testing or employment monitoring. The goal is to provide supervision that encourages rehabilitation while minimizing the risk of reoffending. ISPs are typically more rigorous than regular probation and focus on closely monitoring high-risk or high-need offenders to promote public safety and support their reintegration into the community.
