Young Offender Parole & Re-Entry ServicesIntensive Supervision Services (ISS)
GENERAL INFORMATION Historically, the recidivism rate for Youthful Offenders released from
SCDC has exceeded 50%.
SCDC implemented a new community supervision service called Intensive Supervision during FY 2011-12.
ISS is based on the nationally recognized Intensive Aftercare Program (IAP) Model that utilizes evidence-based practices proven to: Ensure the successful reentry of Youthful Offenders back into the community; Assist in the reduction of recidivism; Improve family and individual functioning; Ensure community safety; Reduce victimization.
Through ISS, an Intensive Supervision Officer (ISO) works in the community and is assigned to each Youthful Offender upon admission at SCDC.
ISOs act in a proactive manner in the life of each offender under his/her supervision and manage a caseload of no more than twenty (20) individuals.
25
Young Offender Parole & Re-Entry ServicesIntensive Supervision Services (ISS)
ISO GUIDELINES• ISO Level of Supervision While an Offender is Incarcerated Face-to-face visits, one per month.
Completes two onsite residential assessments to ensure suitable placement.
Completes a GRAD 90 Risk/Asset Assessment, which addresses both the risks (mental health issues, substance abuse, sociability concerns, career development) and assets (individual strengths, positive leisure time, family/mentor support, workforce readiness) that have proven prominent to the lives of the Youthful Offender population.
Completes an individualized Case Management Plan (CMP) that incorporates Restorative Justice practices and develops objectives for offenders that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely. Examples of objectives include employment, educational placement (vocational or GED), drug testing, substance abuse counseling, mental health services, and parenting skills.
Develops a Community Reentry Team (CRT) that meets regularly to develop resources to assist the offender when reentering society.
26
Young Offender Parole & Re-Entry ServicesIntensive Supervision Services (ISS)

Ensures that parole conditions are met, to include payment of restitution to crime victims.
Utilizes a series of Graduate Responses (i.e., community service, electronic monitoring, reduce curfew, etc.) to address Technical Violations (i.e., absconding, exceeding curfew, failure of random drug test, etc.).
Utilizes a series of Incentives (i.e., academic recognition, certificate of achievement, extend curfew, etc.) to encourage positive behavior.
Implements then reviews individualized Case Management Plan (CMP) monthly with CRT, updating as offender needs change.

• Centralized and expanded the male pre-release program at Manning CI. Increased the number of inmates from 200 to 600 and the length of the program from 90 days to 180 days to better prepare inmates for release and transition back into the community.
• Closed one and a half Level 1 (Minimum Security) institutions.
• Implemented the new Intensive Supervision Services (ISS) program for Youthful Offenders. This was done using the model begun by the Department of Juvenile Justice to reduce recidivism among these young offenders by providing intensive supervision in the community and assisting in their transition from prison to the community.
Recent Accomplishments
30
• Developed and implemented a new paroling authority for Youthful Offenders – the Intensive Supervision Administrative Releasing Authority (ISARA). ISARA was developed to increase offender accountability, enhance public safety and incorporate the victim and community, as well as the offender, as active participants in the paroling process.
• Developed, tested, validated, and implemented a new evidence-based risk/needs assessment instrument for Youthful Offenders. The Global Risk Assessment Device (GRAD-90) was designed specifically for Youthful Offenders incarcerated at SCDC. It is being used to evaluate the risks and service needs of Youthful Offenders returning to their communities under intensive supervision. This risk/needs assessment instrument is currently being adapted for use with female offenders at SCDC, and, eventually, with the rest of the inmate population.
• The substance abuse treatment program for Youthful Offenders has been expanded from one to three institutions.
