Regional Opportunities for Intensive Supervision Program (ISP) Screening Boards
Volunteers can be selected to help screen inmates for the Intensive Supervision Program. The program allows certain carefully selected state prison inmates the opportunity to work their way back into the community under close community supervision by specially trained probation officers.
We are actively recruiting for all regions (Northern, Central, and Southern) with a special recruitment focus on the Southern Region.
The majority of screening board panels meet virtually. However, in-person visits may also be required to some institutions. Southern Region volunteers will be required to visit South Woods State Prison located in Bridgeton, New Jersey to conduct screening board interviews.
