The Intensive Supervision Program…has been a God sent to Butler Cemetery. For the pass year program members - under the Supervision of Officer Lucy Valentin - have faithfully arrived at 9am, one Saturday a month to help maintain a "kept" look at Butler Cemetery.
They work hard and do a wonderful job in cutting tree limbs, removing debris, raking and packing leaves and trash that threaten the memory of this Historic Site..... I AM GRATEFUL FOR THEIR HELP!
Here's a little history on the Program....
ISP is a component of the Probation Services Division of the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts. Funded by the Legislature at the request of the Office of the Governor, ISP was created in 1983 to achieve the following goals: 1. To reduce the number of offenders serving state prison sentences by permitting them to be resentenced to an intermediate form of punishment. 2. To improve the utilization of correctional resources by making additional bed space available for violent criminals. 3. To test whether or not supervising selected offenders in the community is less costly and more effective than incarceration.
