Intensive Probation Supervision: Cost-Savings Relative to Incarceration

This report evaluates Arizona's Intensive Probation Supervision (IPS) program, focusing on the extent to which the program can be a cost-saving alternative to incarceration. In its cost evaluation, GAO compares the direct operating cost of an IPS sentence to that of an alternative prison sentence. For the counties studied, GAO found that the IPS sentences were cost-saving alternatives to the prison sentences in almost all cases. Accession Number: 011017
