Treatments services need to suitable for the individuals such as housing, treatment levels (halfway houses, residential, or day reporting), vocational training, case management, continuum of care for parolee, and most importantly is recidivism. Community supervision programs have to focus on prevention of recidivism. It is pointless to allocate copious amount of financial and human resources, if individuals’ continuously break the laws. Another critical aspect of community supervision I forgot to mention is the significant of classification. With proper classification on an individual, a tailor –made corrective action can be set forth. This is best illustrated in Jaycee Dugard where the failure of inappropriate classification leads to numerous faults and oversights. After the fact, the classification program was revamped to properly assess individual offenders. The lesson from this class is not to be so judgmental when I come across probationer and parolee. Instead, I should try to ask how they are doing in their probation or parole. Are they having any issues or hardships during this time
