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!
Advancing Compassionate Justice: Join the Global Conversation
At the 2026 ICPA Annual Conference in Belfast, the SAW Project (Supervision Around the World), together with international colleagues, hosted an engaging discussion exploring Compassionate Justice - an approach that brings together accountability, dignity, evidence-informed practices, and community partnerships to strengthen justice systems and support successful reintegration.
Building on this conversation, the SAW Project is partnering with the Corrections Lab at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY) on an international research study to explore how Compassionate Justice is understood and applied across different justice systems and communities. The study will use a Delphi research process to identify areas of consensus around the definition, principles, and practical application of Compassionate Justice.
We welcome perspectives from justice professionals, researchers, policymakers, community organizations, and individuals with lived experience. Your insights can help inform an internationally relevant, research-grounded understanding of Compassionate Justice.

Together, we can explore how justice systems can strengthen accountability while creating greater opportunities for dignity, rehabilitation, and lasting change.
