2-Minute Insights

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!

A global gathering for compassionate justice. 🌏

The 7th World Congress on Probation and Parole in Bali brought together leaders from across the globe—all united by a shared purpose: better outcomes for the people we serve and safer, stronger communities. From Indonesia's Perintis Program to lived-experience transformation stories, from community-driven justice to rethinking reentry as a process, the Congress reinforced a central truth: connection matters, collaboration matters, compassion matters.

SAW Project founder Julie Truschel was on the ground presenting multiple sessions and capturing the insights that are shaping the future of probation and parole worldwide.

When individuals leave with marketable skills and a renewed sense of purpose, reentry becomes a launchpad, not a hurdle.
