He then initialed and signed the application. Shamar did ask this counselor to call and update his dad about his case and this meeting. This counselor agreed. This counselor did have Shamar sign a release to speak with his dad as he is his own guardian. The release is in his case file. After completing the application, this counselor did an intake with Shamar. Shamar stated that he would like MRS to assist him with attending MCTI for the automotive program and once he returns home with finding employment near his home. Shamar stated that he wants to find something part-time to start off, but that would eventually lead to full-time. Shamar stated that he is open to any shift and is willing to make minimum wage to start. Shamar doesn’t have his license so he relies on others for transportation. Shamar stated that he can use the bus if it’s a “straight shot”. He doesn’t know how to transfer from bus to bus, but stated he is willing to try. Because he relies on others for transportation, he wants to stay within 10-15 miles of his home when searching for employment. At this time, Shamar is interested in attending MCTI for the automotive program. His ultimate goal is to get certificated as a mechanic and return back home to get a job in that field. Eventually he stated he may want to expand his education further and maybe go to a community college.

To rebut petitioner McCleskey's alibi defense at his 1978 Georgia trial for murder and a related crime, the State called Officer Evans, the occupant of the jail cell next to McCleskey's, who testified that McCleskey had admitted and boasted about the killing. On the basis of this and other evidence supporting McCleskey's guilt, the jury convicted him and sentenced him to death. After the State Supreme Court affirmed, he filed an unsuccessful petition for state habeas corpus relief, alleging, inter alia, that his statements to Evans were elicited in a situation created by the State to induce him to make incriminating statements without the assistance of counsel in violation of Massiah v. United States, 377 U.S. 201 . He then filed his first
Another inaccurate crime case in 2013 was the beaten of Maurice Harris, a 57-year-old man. He had been punched in the head with a metal pipe, because of the severity of the beaten doctors had to “put in a breathing tube: they also diagnosed a spinal cord injury”. A week after Harries died. However, his death was not classified as homicide, but as “natural” according to the pathologist examination. The police report clearly impacted to the number of homicides that were reported for 2013 and, as with previous homicides, Harris’s case was never classified properly and criminals were never detained. The Chicago Magazine makes an extensive and exciting investigation to reveal to the public the reality behind these incidents that are not being included

She rapidly transitioned into the Adams Camp environment and found her home. Jordan has the opportunity to serve 350 families every year in both Adventure Camp and other therapeutic programs that is offered by Adams Camp. But, it hasn’t all been an easy road for her at Adams Camp. She voiced, “With an aging population, we are tasked with creating age appropriate services for all.

At the moment, Adams Camp prioritizes younger clients in order to prepare them properly for their futures. But because Jordan is so dedicated to improving the lives’ of others, she
I have worked for the West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation Services (WVDRS) for over three years as a Rehabilitation Service Associate. During that time I have been given the opportunity to work with the clients that we serve on a regular basis. However, the practicum experience provided me with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the rehabilitation process and what it means to work as a team with individuals to achieve goals. The practicum experience also gave me insight on the processes involved in providing individuals information and assistance in finding solutions to help overcome or work through challenges encountered on a daily basis.
The duties performed by social and human services workers are varied. They can work in a number of different fields including psychology, social work, rehabilitation, and support for families in need (BLS, 2012a). Often, they help to identify the needs of clients and help them obtain available benefits, community services, and programs. There are several other job categories that are closely related including rehabilitation counselors, psychiatric technicians, personal care aides, and eligibility interviewers for government programs (BLS, 2012a). I wish to pursue a career in the psychology and rehabilitation field of the human services category. This population is of great interest to me because of experiences with friends and family. I find this category of human services to be the most interesting and I have a strong desire
