What does 'Victim Sensitive' mean on the Interstate Compact on Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS) request for transfer?
The "Victim Sensitive" box indicates that the victim would be notified regarding the transfer if it is checked on the request.
The box for "Victim Sensitive" should NOT be checked on the request for transfer. There is no obligation under Washington law to notify victims that an offender is relocating. Washington law does not go beyond initial release from custody for notification purposes and is generally regarded to apply only to the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) offenders being released from prison.
