Victims’ Rights. It is the intent of ICAOS and IDOC to assure victim’s rights are maintained throughout the interstate and supervision process. Victims have a right to receive notification of certain activities of the offender, which often requires notification within one business day. It is imperative that interstate forms and documents be marked “victim sensitive” whenever there is a registered victim indicated in the IDOC’s Offender System (Reflections). The interstate compact unit will notify IDOC’s victim services coordinator for probation cases and the Idaho Parole Commission’s victim services coordinator for parolees when working with victim sensitive information.
