Compare and contrast the four types of intermediate sanctions.

Rehabilitation programs and other forms of supervision in the community have been faulted for not reducing recidivism or providing adequate safeguards for community protection. Released prisoners who fail to reenter the community as law-abiding citizens can have a detrimental impact on the community’s quality of life. Many criminal justice professionals believe the use of imprisonment creates a vicious cycle of reoffending. Thus, the use of intermediate sentence seeks to address those concerns. The intermediate sanctions most often used are: intensive probation supervision (IPS), split sentencing and shock probation, shock incarceration boot camps, and home confinement with electronic monitoring.
