The Juvenile
Intensive Supervision Program (JISP) provides an
alternative for juvenile offenders in lieu of removal
from the home. JISP is designed to provide structured
and frequent contacts with Case Managers. In doing so,
the Case Manager is in contact with schools, family,
employers and treatment providers.
Strict
compliance with the court-ordered plan of probation and
of supervision is imperative. All clients participate in
counseling directed by the court. They observe a curfew
and are tested frequently for drug and alcohol use.
Clients participate in community service as well as a
Lifeskills program.
JISP has a level
system that allows clients to work their way through the
program. While on the first level, they will meet with
their Case Manager three times per week. The number of
times they report decreases with the progression of
levels. JISP is typically used for high risk and high
need offenders in addition to offenders adjudicated of
serious offenses.
JISP offers a
number of services to ensure the clients are provided
the skills necessary to reduce the probability of their
continued delinquent behavior.
