Development Pitch
Intensive Supervision is an exceptional and unique drama because there are no current films or television series which depict the life experiences of a probation/parole officer. Mark Norris passionately pursues each day trying to keep offenders on the straight and narrow despite having to face challenges and opposition from the system itself. Intensive Supervision will take you into the intense and complex world of probation and parole, up close and personal.
