An interstate compact is a written agreement between two or more states. This formal arrangement is used to coordinate policies and actions that cross state lines on shared issues, and it often requires Congressional consent to be legally binding. It’s different from a furlough (temporary release from confinement), from diversion programs (paths that steer offenders away from formal court processing), and from youth offenders (the people involved rather than an agreement). So, the term described is interstate compact.
