Like anything else, prison involves a very specific routine to which people adapt. In some cases, prison life becomes more "normal" for some prisoners than life on the "outside," as prisoners call freedom.

To ensure that prisoners have the best chance of succeeding in their reintroduction to society, we sometimes use community corrections programs such as halfway houses where prisoners about to be released from custody are generally free to come and go during certain hours to work but must return at night. Community corrections offers several types of positions for criminal justice professionals including counselors who function in very similar capacities as probation and parole officers, and social workers who help evaluate prisoners and design appropriate training and counseling to best help them successfully re-enter society and avoid repeating any of the mistakes that contributed to their criminal conduct previously.


Conclusion:

In many respects, probation and parole officers, counselors, and social workers who work with criminal offenders are some of the unsung heroes of the criminal justice system. A career in any of these fields can be extremely rewarding because it provides a way of bettering society by helping one person at a time. Generally, all of these vocational choices require a clean criminal background, educational degrees related to social work, and some training in criminal justice and the laws of criminal procedure.
