Juvenile Intensive Supervision Probation
The Juvenile Intensive Supervision Program (JISP) oversees youth either on probation from the District Court or released with conditions from the Kansas juvenile correctional facility. These youth usually have one or more of the following challenges:
- Multiple adjudications
- Adjudications for serious felonies
- History of repeated failure on Court Services probation and/or diversion
- Severe substance abuse problems
- Strained family relationships
- Experiencing a mental health condition
- School-related concerns
JISP makes sure youth have regular, structured meetings with an Intensive Supervision Officer (ISO). The program uses a four-level system based on the YLS/CMI (Youthful Level of Service/Case Management Inventory). The level decides how often the youth meets with their ISO each week or month.

JISP is determined by the courts and is subject to Senate Bill 367:
Information on individual probation lengths is available in the Order of Probation. There is an opportunity for clients to be released early, but they still must successfully complete all court requirements.
Although JISP itself is no cost to clients, there are costs related to probation. The Court can assess certain costs dependent on the individual situation. For example:
- Court costs
- Attorney fees
- Restitution
- Fines
- Supervision fees
Court costs must be paid at the courthouse.
Court costs can be paid at the Johnson County Courthouse.
Yes, travel is permitted in most circumstances. A travel permit will need to be completed which provides the client with written authorization to be out of the area. If the client is in violation status travel may be denied.
