ANNOTATION: If you or your agency is reintegrating ex-offenders that used methamphetamines (MA) into the community, you own it to yourselves to read this publication. “The purpose of this report is to highlight the need for a coherent strategy for community corrections professionals to use when supervising MA-using populations in the community. This report offers the community corrections field baseline data to understand some of the obstacles and lessons learned regarding supervision of MA-using offenders” (p. 1). This information comes from a focus group and three technical assistance sites in Colorado, South Dakota, and Arizona. Results from the focus group cover treatment, sentencing and sanctions, supervision, collaboration, and public safety concerns. The technical assistance sites yielded information regarding 14 best practices, some of which are: the establishment of local interagency committees; more effective lines of communication between community supervising officers; and better access to support services.
