Working with both those who are currently incarcerated and those on probation or parole, these professionals help individuals in the legal system connect to social services that can support their rehabilitation. They interview each individual to understand specific needs and see how much progress they have made before creating a rehabilitative plan of action. Some of the services they may connect individuals with include addiction treatment, job training, and healthcare. Corrections officers also keep case files on each client and update as needed.
