The case plan developed by staff is the backbone of the supervision process, the map for how agents and offenders will identify and solve offenders' problems. Case plans take information from multiple sources, synthesize it, and reflect a comprehensive strategy that outlines not only the goals, but also some of the obstacles that may arise during supervision. Each case plan should be based on the unique aspects of an offender's life. This ensures that each plan addresses the specific risks and needs of individual offenders and therefore has the greatest chance for success.
