The Interstate Compact on Juveniles is an agreement among U.S. states to manage the movement of juveniles who are on probation, parole, or escape status. This compact ensures that these individuals are supervised and monitored when they travel or relocate across state lines, promoting public safety and accountability. The compact facilitates cooperation between states, allowing for the sharing of information and resources. It helps to ensure that juveniles receive appropriate services and support, while also maintaining the legal responsibilities of the sending and receiving states. This collaborative approach aims to reduce the risk of reoffending and improve outcomes for youth.
