Personal Statement: A Thank You Letter

The goal of this program is for the Grand Forks community to benefit while the offender works to pay off their debt to society. The objectives of the

Our county, state and federal legislatures have several options available to ease the burden on the prison system, but for this assessment the focus will be on those available to state and local jurisdictions. First, let’s clarify the difference between probation and parole. Probation is community monitoring in lieu of jail administered by local jurisdictions while parole is merely supervised release from prison administered by the state. (LAO, 2009) Here lies the first problem. If local Probation agencies are not adequately funded, then there is little incentive for Probation Officers to ensure criminals remain in their program. If criminals fail to report or become repeat offenders, then they can be

Jail is usually the first place a person is taken after being arrested by police officers. The authority of states to build, operate, and fill jails can be found in the Tenth Amendment, which has been construed to grant to states the power to pass their own laws to preserve the safety, health, and welfare of their communities. Jail is to protect the public and citizens of county by providing a wide range of constructive, professional correctional services for pre-trial and convicted detainees. Jail is also ensure the safety and welfare of staff, visitors, and offenders by operating facilities and programs in a secure, humane environment which meets professional and standards and constitutional

II. Design: The authors designed their research to examine pathways through the continuum of care, and the relative effectiveness of probation and residential dispositions in Connecticut between July 1, 2005 and June 30, 2007. The study consisted of two thousand eight hundred twenty three (2,823) juvenile probationers who resided within two hundred sixty nine (269) facilities whose date was collected from multiple sources which included Case Management Information Systems (CMIS), the Connecticut Computerized Criminal History (CCH) records system and the Connecticut DCF Information System. The data set included information on youth demographics such as age, race and gender, but not limited to referral, offense history, dispositions, placements, risk and needs and both youth juvenile and adult justice system involvement.

There are three types of community supervision which include, day parole, full parole and statutory release (formerly referred to as mandatory supervision); lower risk offenders are more likely to be released on day parole or full parole.

The use of parole has been around as early as the 1600s. Parole has grown into a program where offenders are released into the community with resources to help the offender reduce their chance of recidivating. Barton – Bellessa and Hanser said, “The true purpose of community correction [was] to reform those offenders who showed sufficient motivation and likelihood of being reformed (pgs. 441 and 443)”. Instead, in the past ten years, parole has been used to reduce overcrowding in prison instead of reintegrating the offender back into the community. For three decades parole has had a dreadful reputation for releasing prisoners into the community without being reformed. In order for a parole program to be successful, there are various elements that need to take place; a need for careful selection of offenders that deserve at chance at parole, communication between multiple departments need to be precise and often, community – based services need to be available and participate with the offender, and most important, the relationship between offender and case worker needs to be frequent and honest.

I have a hard time understanding why you would ever believe that I don't want to talk to you smfh. You threatened me in your letter saying if I didn't answer i wouldn't hear from you again. Do you know that when your in jail, life is still moving around on the outside correct? There's sometime I may not be able to answer your calls. I did tell you the best times to reach me are during the week. Weekend can get a Lil crazy over here, especially since my nephew is living here temporarily for this school year because his mom moved to Florida again.

(iii) My life will be sad and empty if you don’t give me a horsey-ride

Hey nice meeting you, sorry it was in awkward time, hoping to speak to you soon!!(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و ~

III. Good morning every one, my name is Sarah and I do stutter, so if you need me to repeat anything

I just want to take a moment to let you know I missed seeing you at 11:00am service and at Taco Bell and wondered how you are doing.

After reading the case study over John Doe, we know that John has already had been through the probation system after committing some serious crimes such as attempted robbery. After being brought in for evaluation for the MAP program after violating his probation by not being at home, and school multiple times, it is noted that John has poor behavioral adjustment skills, while also lacking any sense of guilt of his past actions. With this in mind we know that most of the previous treatment programs failed due to his poor behavioral adjustment skills, which means that to try and rehabilitate him, John needs to be placed in a residential placement so the staff can try and work on his issues. From chapter 10 we are given two categories of facilities

"3. I met with him for an hour just before the holidays. I don’t know what to expect from him, if he is aggressive or not aggressive. He answered my questions for an hour, which was fine."

Answer 9: Although I knew that no immediate consequences would be given to me if I complied with Sikes and Crackit, my morals denied my thoughts and I tried everything to prevent it. When Crackit held out his hand and I took it, I then realized what was going on at the moment. Most of the time this seems to be when I rely on my faith in others too much, my set morals stopped me
