As long the program concentrate on making sure the offender continue to work upon their rehabilitation and work upon become activate member of society it will work, even when the community may not appreciate having re-form convicts living in proximity of their families. In order for probation and community correction programs to continue they must make sure they evolve with the times. The programs should focus to make sure that the convicts are getting the most up-to-date rehabilitation that will help them focus on behavior issues and improvement, abilities such as skills, education, and so forth to further aid them with the reintegration back into society as a activate and productive member. I feel education and corruptive job programs which will take on hiring convicts. If we focus on these we can keep the convicts from relapse into their old ways, and truly be successful in community programs and rehabilitation.
This supervision is conducted by a probation’s officer. Parole, on the other hand, is the supervised early release of a convicted offender from prison before the convicted offender has fully served his or her sentence. Compared to probation, where a criminal convict is not required to serve any time in jail, parolees have already been incarcerated. In most states, a parole board decides if an incarcerated offender is eligible for a conditional release. When convicted offenders are released on parole their supervision is placed in the hands of parole officers.
Probation and Parole Officers Angel Taylor Career Choices in Criminal Justice Darrin Abner 7/27/14 Probation and Parole Officers play a big part in our criminal justice systems and courts system. Both probation and parole officers work with convicted criminals. They both have many similarities and differences. They both have the same goal in mind: to have the offender rehabilitated and make a positive contribution to society (Eileen Baylus, eHow Contributor.) Probation and Parole officers both report to the courts on terms of one’s sentencing.
Once and offender opens and allows the freeness to sink in and accept it they of often start focusing on their goals and faith that they can succeed without reoffending. There are many programs that help offenders whom are reentering into the community such as college programs, federal grants, business programs, development programs, housing support and many more. Reentry is the process of reintegrating of the transitions of an offender from the prison institution or jails back in to the community. The reentry process can be effective if the correct monitoring is in place. According to the Urban Institute study in 2005, the major keys to an effective system in prison reentry is the proper monitoring of an offender that is released into the parole community supervision.
Though the professional relationship may come to an end, the perception of authority may remain, which may affect the relationship outside counseling. Advocates in the human services field are vital, they help clients set goals, educate clients about their rights, and provide access to resources through information. The greatest need for advocacy comes from underprivileged groups, such as children, the elderly, victims of abuse, or the homeless. My personal approach to advocacy for the homeless would start with increasing community awareness. This involves property owners, local government, and business owners.
So, muddling along is certainly possible. Of the current conditions which favor this future, the most important may be the difficulty leaders of the profession have agreeing on what the public would value, which community corrections is prepared to own. A muddle is inescapable when the answer is any and all of enforcing court orders, holding offenders accountable, reducing recidivism during the term of supervision, permanent reformation of offenders, creating or maintaining public safety, punishment, restitution, restoration of victims, restoration of community, crime prevention, fear reduction, harm reduction, embodying community values, keeping offenders drug free, and involving individual victims in correctional decision making.

These types of decisions to try juveniles in adult court serve society in terms of placing these individuals in custody for potential rehabilitation and introduction back into society. According to Kathleen Michon, one of the advantages of trying a juvenile case in criminal courts is that “minors have the right to a jury trial in adult court” [since] most states do not provide a jury trial for juveniles (Michon, 2014, p. 2). Michon also suggests that juveniles will be more apt to receive a “sympathetic jury” (Michon,
The plan was to develop the evidence based practices (EBP) to ensure that operations were implemented as planned. The EBP was a concept to be shared between the system and the communities. They wanted to educate the public about re-entry and the policies involved in making it a success. The re-entry program is based on the TPC Model (Transition from Prison to the Community) which was presented from the National Institute of Corrections. The idea is to reduce violent needs of the offenders, particularly high risk offenders.
Effective and efficient management is needed most in times of riots and emergency situations. In order to diminish riots within correctional facilities and reduce the violence amongst inmates and staff, management must have clear policies and procedures, open lines of communication, fair inmate disciplinary process, and ability to hire and train quality staff. Analysis Diminishing Riots A news reporter from KCRA had an interview with a confidential inmate informer that was present when the riot occurred, “ the riot was sparked by Asian and Southern Hispanic inmates going back and forward” said the informer. As race relations become a more important factor in the modern penal system, administrators must go in the direction to reduce potential destructive results. One correctional management technique to relieve racial tension, which may be used, is the proper classification of inmates.
The main goals for indeterminate sentencing are the prevention of new crimes, rehabilitation, and to protect the criminals from excessive, unequal, or random punishments. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (1999), Indeterminate sentencing allows corrections managers to deal with problems of overcrowding or with changes in resource allocation by adjusting policies governing award of good time, setting of parole release dates, or releasing offenders on furloughs or to intermittent or partial confinement (p. 5). It is my opinion that indeterminate sentencing has the potential to change lawbreakers into law-abiding
