“The Prison and Probation Service has two main goals: To contribute to the reduction of criminality, and to work to increase safety in society. To achieve these goals we work with sentenced persons in order to improve their possibilities of living a life without committing new crimes.” (Linstrom and Leijonram)

A discussion took place with Mrs. Cordell about her criminal history having the ability to negatively affect placement of Max in her care. Mrs. Cordell stated her cases where dismissed, and she has not had any other criminal history or involvement with any criminal activity since those events occurred. Mrs. Cordell was informed that although there were criminal history, it does not mean the child will not be placed in her care, but could have negative effects on placement. The assessor also informed Mrs. Cordell that although there is criminal history, it does not mean Max will not be placed in her care. After the discussion, Mrs. Cordell voiced understanding.

Probation, as defined by Bartollas and Siegel, is “a form of punishment which allows the offender to remain in the community under supervision of a probation officer and is subject to certain conditions as set forth by the court” (2013). As such, the issue of probation supervision presents several challenges unique to this type of judicial punishment.

Week 3 on Wednesday I had the honor of in interview Mr. Rocco Pozzi. Mr. Pozzi is originally from Pennsylvania, where he attended Penn. State University seeking his Bachelor’s degree In Education. He later became interested in the probation profession, so he changed his major and received a degree in law enforcement and corrections. In 1973 Mr. Pozzi started his career at the Philadelphia Probation Department as a probation trainee and then gradually elevated to Administrative Officer and then Deputy Chief Probation Officer. After serving 16 years in the Philadelphia Probation Department, Mr. Pozzi ventured out and applied for Commissioner of the Probation Department in Westchester County.

For those who work in the federal probation system, there are many skills needed. The knowledge used by these individuals and the abilities they can offer to their field are vital if they are going to be successful in what they do and in caring for offenders who are on probation and need to be monitored closely but also treated with respect and decency. Probation and supervision are not the only areas where these individuals are needed, however, because they can also work in pretrial services, corrections, counseling, and case management. The skills they use in one of those disciplines often transfer over to other disciplines, but not every individual is good at more than one area of work. The environment in which these workers operate is one of pressure and stress, and that environment is always changing. That makes it something worth focusing on and working for, and also shows just how dynamic the workers must be in order to remain calm in the face of stressful events and situations with which they must deal - often on a daily basis.

In addition, he enagaged in criminal activity dealing illegal drugs that poison communities and destroy families. It is the probation offices belief that the offender is unwilling to abide the social norms of society and that he poses a significant risk to public safety. Therefore the following recommendation of placing additional restraints while within the community on the offender appears warranted.

Not long ago, I obtained a paid position as a Service Provider for Adult Probations in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. As a service provider, my job is to ensure an adequate level of supervision, surveillance and control for offenders released to Community Corrections by the court or through the authorized absence process, and provide support and assistance to offenders as an alternative to incarceration. It is important to note that Corrections service providers are not to be confused with volunteer probation officers who are appointed to enhance service to individuals already deemed appropriate for a community-based sentence.

As we know, probation and parole officers play a major role in shaping an offenders perception of reality as well as changing their behavior. The question that many will ask is “is the role of the PO that of a social worker or cop?” In my opinion, probation and parole officers have a huge weight on their shoulders due to the caseloads that they receive. Since the recent police brutality cases the mentality of an officer needs to change with the times. I believe that officers should lean more towards being a social worker/cop because they should be able to gain common ground with citizens while keeping their best interest and public safety at heart. In short, officers have to play multiple roles depending upon the situation and the stipulations

A crucial part of the criminal justice system includes probation. Probation is the release of a criminal offender from detention or incarceration. At this time, the offender is subject to a period of good behavior under supervision. Probation is also referred to a kind of punishment that is giving as part of sentencing. Instead of giving an offender a longer sentence, a judge will order the defendant to report to their assigned probation officer on a regular basis, where the offender will receive a schedule instructing him or her of their probation requirements. If the defendant does not obey a probation order, the defendant will automatically return to jail or to court, only to be given a longer sentence by the judge. A person on probation is not allowed to leave the judicial district without permission of the probation officer or court (Seiter, 2011). The probationer shall report to the probation officer as directed and shall submit truthful and complete reports (Seiter, 2011). A person on probation must also follow all directions instructed by his or her probation officer truthfully. When on probation, an offender must obtain employment and needs to notify his or her probation officer of all changes of address within a three-day limit. The probationer shall also refrain from the excessive use of alcohol
