The significant decrease in home visits for ISP probationers after their first sixmonths in the program is primarily due to the fact that most ISP probationers are transferred toTraditional Probation at that time.A separate analysis of monthly home visits revealed that 44 (19%) of 229 ISP participantswho received a home visit were not visited during their first month in the program. It ispossible that some of these offenders may have begun their probation sentence in theTraditional program and were then transferred to ISP. These transfers are typically the resultof an offender receiving a probation violation(s) while in Traditional Probation.
