Intensive supervision probation is often referred to as old-style probation because it closely resembles the traditional model of probation that was in place before the shift to a new style of probation. This old-style probation typically involved minimal supervision and support for individuals on probation, with a focus on compliance and punishment rather than rehabilitation and support.

The transition to a new style of probation was driven by a recognition of the limitations of the old model. It became clear that simply monitoring and punishing individuals on probation was not effective in reducing recidivism or addressing the underlying issues that led to their involvement in the criminal justice system. As a result, there was a shift towards a more holistic and rehabilitative approach to probation, with an emphasis on providing support, resources, and opportunities for individuals to address the root causes of their criminal behavior.

Returning to the original plan of probation and operating as if we only have one style would not be advisable. While intensive supervision probation may have some benefits, such as increased accountability and monitoring, it lacks the focus on rehabilitation and support that is essential for addressing the complex needs of individuals on probation. The new style of probation recognizes that individuals on probation often require a range of services and interventions to address issues such as substance abuse, mental health challenges, education and employment barriers, and housing instability. By providing these supports, the new style of probation aims to reduce the likelihood of reoffending and promote successful reintegration into the community.

In conclusion, while intensive supervision probation may have its place in certain circumstances, the shift to a new style of probation was necessary to address the limitations of the old model. It is important to continue operating with a more holistic and rehabilitative approach to probation in order to effectively support individuals on probation and reduce recidivism.
