They need to develop skill to deal with what has happened in their lives to bring them to their current state in that moment in time. Within the corrections, it is believed that all need the assistance. All inmates or clients in this type of setting have wound up here in some sort of manner that needs to be evaluated and corrected.

Parole is post-incarceration release; it is release from prison before the completion of the sentence imposed. Parole differs from mandatory release; mandatory release is when an inmate is released into society, only after the full completion of the sentence is served through incarceration. Paroled prisoners are released, under conditions, before the completion of their sentence is served. Violating the conditions of one’s parole can result in revocation of parole and return to prison to complete the remainder of the original sentence.
In the article, methods that were used to conduct this research were self-reports from inmates as well as interviews of former inmates. Surveys were also conducted and given to those incarcerated as well as those released from prison. Prisoners were allowed to participate in a program titled “Long-Distance Dads” which encouraged responsible fatherhood during and after incarceration. Special attention was paid to inmates who participated in religious services and other programs such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous as well. The research results showed that those who reported support from family and loved ones, via visits and letters while incarcerated as well as emotional and financial support upon release, helped make re-integration a bit easier.

introduction The factors and conditions that lead to prisoner reentry were discussed in Chapter 12. In this chapter, we discuss what it is like to be on parole. Parole is a form of community supervision of offenders. Therefore, as with probation, supervision conditions are an integral part of parole. Parole conditions imposed determine the amount of freedom versus restrictions a parolee has.
As in everything in life there is always room that something can be changed to make it better, and the idea of rehabilitation is no different. Rehabilitation is a very useful tool utilized by the court. According to The Free Dictionary (2014), rehabilitation is the process of preparing a prisoner for a productive life upon release from prison. So what this means the prisoner receives classes and special treatment to ensure that they can live a proper life once they are given their second chance into society. The process of rehabilitation will begin in prison and will continue once the inmate is released into society.
Community Corrections Barb Vorachek University of Phoenix (Axia) CJS/230 Theresa Degard 12/11/11 Community Corrections The goals of community corrections are to contribute to public safety, and reduce future criminal conduct (Martin, 2006). Community corrections are a big part of the criminal justice system. Community corrections are a form of punishment that an offender can receive to serve time in the community, instead of serving it in jail. There are many forms of community corrections it does not only involve probation and parole. Other forms include community service and house arrest (Foster, 2006).
Community corrections programs are operated under the directions and supervision of parole and probation agencies. These types of community corrections programs include general community supervision, halfway houses, day reporting agencies, work release programs, and residential care facilities. The main goals of the community corrections programs is to providing accountability for ex-convicts, rehabilitation services and programs, and community enforcement to ensure all paroled ex-convicts are adhering to the guidelines outlined in the parole hearing. According to DeMichele, (2008) “Community corrections agencies can promote their public safety and justice mission through a balance of rehabilitative and punitive techniques. Strategies that use both rehabilitative and punitive tools must integrate treatment, surveillance and enforcement.
