If he was aware of such knowledge, I would have to advise her to seek legal advice, because this could be considered as harassment within the workplaces. As her probation or parole officer, I would try to settle this matter peacefully, by observing the behavior of my client and investigating her complaint. Bullying and intimidation of a person can have a devastating effect and this is what her boss is accused of. I would also advise my client to look for another place of employment.

  • Current Issues in the Correctional System

    1045 Words  | 3 Pages

As of 2005, a little fewer than 2,000 prisoners are being released every day. These individuals have not gone through treatment or been properly assisted in reentering society. This has caused individuals to reenter the prison system after only a year of being release and this problem will not go away, but will get worst if current thinking does not change. This change must be bigger than putting in place some under funded programs that do not provide support. As the current cost of incarceration is around $30,000 a year per inmate, change to the system/procedure must prevent recidivism and the current problem of over-crowed prisons.
