A Global Hub for Supervision Practices
The concept for the SAW Project was born at the 2nd World Congress on Community Corrections in 2015, when SAW Founder Julie Truschel interviewed supervision professionals from around the world about what they were doing in community corrections. Today, the SAW Project continues this collaborative effort to review, share and learn from experts around the world so we can improve models, outcomes, communities, and lives. The SAW Project offers a global hub where industry professionals can learn, connect, and share insights. See what we are doing today!
Julie Truschel was honored to be on the main stage at the 2026 International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) Conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland, sharing the work of the SAW Project and our valued partner, Reduce Recidivism Ghana.
Our presentation, “Compassionate Justice in Action: Global Partnerships Advancing Community Reintegration,” highlighted the importance of collaboration, community engagement, and approaches that combine accountability with dignity.
We value our partnership with Tracy Frimpong and Reduce Recidivism Ghana, whose innovative work demonstrates how community-based initiatives can create meaningful opportunities for individuals returning to society. Although Tracy was unable to join us in person, her video brought the Ghana experience directly to our international audience.
At the SAW Project, we believe some of the best opportunities for improving justice systems come from learning from one another, sharing what works, and building partnerships across borders. We're grateful to Tracy and her team for their friendship, collaboration, and commitment to making a difference.
