Various steps are needed to reach that vision, including sentence planning in prison, electronic monitoring, motivational interviewing, national programs, and referral to treatment.

The cooperation between probation and prison is successful because there is more integrated policy and strategy, the policy of inclusion gives ownership to joint objectives, the good exchange of information, leadership gives the same message, and joint assessment planning and programs. The problems that have been encountered are different cultural backgrounds, opportunities for mistrust and misunderstandings, proper resources, political pressures, no systematic evaluation, rivalry and competition of resources, and the complex relationship of working together.
