Probation and parole supervision of undocumented immigrants in the United States presents numerous complications for state level community supervision agencies. States receive no budgetary assistance from the federal government for these offenders who may experience special difficulties such as language barriers in communication and understanding the basics of the American justice system. This article describes results from an information request sent to members of the American Probation and Parole Association regarding community supervision of undocumented immigrants in their jurisdictions and seeks to describe issues surrounding their supervision. © 2008 by The Haworth Press.
