Define IPS and identify and discuss its two classifications
What will be an ideal response?
• IPS is an alternative to incarceration – persons who are placed on IPS are supposed to be those offenders who, in the absence of intensive supervision, would have been sentenced to imprisonment, or for inmates who otherwise would not be paroled.
• Diversion – commonly referred to as a "front-door" program because its goal is to limit the number of offenders entering prison. Prison diversion programs generally identify incoming lower-risk inmates to participate in IPS as a substitute for a prison term
• Enhancement – programs generally select already-sentenced probationers and parolees and subject them to closer supervision in the community rather than regular probation and parole. People placed on IPS-enhanced probation and parole have shown evidence of failure under routine supervision or have committed offenses deemed to be too serious for supervision on routine caseloads.
