Community Supervision-Probation And Parole

Decent Essays
Honestly, I am extremely worried about how I'm going to pay for my internship, therefore, this scholarship came as somewhat of a 'saving grace'. My internship is unpaid; as a result, I won’t be receiving any money during the summer. I decided to intern with Community Supervision- Probation/Parole because I plan on returning to the community that I grew up in and starting my career. I want to help offenders within the CJ system who are struggling to start over or need an extra push to get back on the right track. I live off-campus, in a student apartment and I just found out that I won't be able to sublease my apartment for the summer because I'm supposed to graduate in December. I will be in Forsyth County the whole summer but I'm still going

Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…

The offender is supervised by a designated probation officer who oversees the offender and enforces any conditions placed upon them by the court. It emerged as a response to the strict uniformity of penal institutions and is a move towards the individualisation of sentencing, as punishment can be tailored to the individual needs of the offender (McLaughlin and Muncie, 2001). Probation was also a response to the overriding penal concern in the 1970’s, which lasted until the early 1990’s, of reducing the prison population, this led to the introduction of an array of alternatives to custody, with the assumption that their existence would enable the courts to use imprisonment more sparingly (Newburn, 2013).…
