In this course, you have learned about institutional and community corrections.

In this course, you have learned about institutional and community corrections. Probation and parole are two community corrections supervision approaches. Probation and parole officers use community-based resources, such as by addressing underlying mental health or substance abuse issues, to assist offenders with their reentry efforts.
Imagine you work for a community corrections agency, and you are investigating potential programs to partner with to help offenders returning to the community on either probation or parole. You will present your findings to your agency’s team meeting.
Probation and parole officers use intermediate sanctions to enforce any special conditions imposed at sentencing (e.g., community service hours, halfway house residence, restitution) or other tools meant to address issues of noncompliant behavior by the offender.
Research alternative correctional programs, such as mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and counseling, job placement assistance, vocational training, housing assistance, and educational training, that probation or parole officers can use to help offenders successfully reenter the community.
