Intensive Supervision Parole programs have been called "old-style" probation because each officer has only twenty clients and such programs require frequent face-to-face contact.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intensive Supervision Parole (ISP) programs are not considered "old-style" probation; rather, they are a form of parole supervision that is more restrictive and involves closer monitoring than traditional parole, often including frequent face-to-face contact, but they are distinct from probation and are designed for higher-risk parolees, not characterized by the low caseloads of "old-style" probation.
