POSITION: The Compact has one primary goal: community protection. The primary strategies used to achieve public safety are: risk management, supervision and rehabilitation of the probationer/parolee. In cases involving probationers/parolees whose homes are situated in a state or territory foreign to the state of jurisdiction, the goal of community supervision can only be met through the use of the Interstate Compact. Community protection is facilitated by the regulation of the probationer/parolees interstate travel, the monitoring of the offenders community adjustment, and the removal of the probationer/parolee from the community upon violation. Reintegration of the offender and rehabilitative efforts are assisted by ensuring parole and probation program continuity across state boundaries. | |
