The Council of State Governments led the effort to revise the failing
interstate compact, originally conceived in 1937. In collaboration with
the National Institute of Corrections,
CSG has helped 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands adopt the compact over the last four years and now
serves as a secretariat to the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender
Supervision. This revised compact serves as a cutting-edge model of
what the modern compact mechanism can accomplish - a streamlined,
efficient and accountable interstate agreement that applies to a wide
range of policy issues.
