It depends on where you are. Some places they don't except on a very minimal level and some places work very closely with each other. Idaho is an example of a system that maintains close partnerships. For example: when an offender is convicted of a new felony, before sentencing the DoC conducts a Pre-Sentence Investigation that involves prior criminal behavior, family history, social history, work history, substance abuse history and psychological history. The investigation report is submitted to the court along with a recommendation for sentencing, any thing from being released on probation, a period of incarceration or combination of the two. The court is under no obligation to follow the recommendation but generally does. The DoC and courts also work closely to provide alternative sentencing option for probation and parole violators as opposed to just throwing them back in prison. They work closely with law enforcement agencies with intelligence sharing programs, particularly concerning gang activity (prisons are saturated with gangs, almost any corrections officer knows more about gang activity than all but the most experienced police officers). The Idaho POST Academy (Peace Officers Standards and Training) trains almost every police/detention/corrections officer and certifies every one of them to work in their profession. Instructors are brought in from agencies all over the state to teach cadets in each discipline.
