Section 15-18-75 Civil action by victim of crime; credit for restitution paid. Nothing in this
article limits or impairs the right of a person injured by a defendant's criminal activities
to sue or recover damages from the defendant in a civil action. Evidence that the defendant
has paid or has been ordered to pay restitution pursuant to this article may not be introduced
in any civil action arising out of the facts or events which were the basis for the restitution.
However, the court shall credit any restitution paid by the defendant to a victim against
any judgment in favor of the victim in such civil action. If conviction in a criminal trial
necessarily decides the issue of a defendant's liability for pecuniary damages for a victim,
that issue is conclusively determined as to the defendant, if it is involved in a subsequent
civil action. (Acts 1980, No. 80-588, p. 928, §11.)...

Section 15-22-1.1 Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. Whereas: The Interstate
Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers was established in 1937, it is the
earliest corrections "compact" established among the states and has not been amended

movement of adult parolees and probationers across state lines, and it currently has jurisdiction
over more than a quarter of a million offenders; Whereas: The complexities of the compact
have become more difficult to administer, and many jurisdictions have expanded supervision
expectations to include currently unregulated practices such as victim input, victim notification
requirements, and sex offender registration; Whereas: After hearings, national surveys, and
a detailed study by a task force appointed by the National Institute of Corrections, the overwhelming
