Parole Job Description:
Parole officers should have a degree in criminal justice or psychology. Even people having a degree in social work are hired as parole officers. These people have to work with the criminals or the parolee and their families. Parolees are the criminals or the offenders who have been imprisoned and have a chance of conditional release from the prison before they have served their due sentence. There are some parole officers who do not work with the prisoners but they work in the correctional offices and set rules and regulations for the prisoners. Parole officers who directly work with the offenders also help them after they are released from the prison. They help them in rehabilitation and creating a foundation for their new life by helping them get employment as well as provide them financial help. Parole officers generally work with the local and state prison systems. They need to be mentally strong and deal with stressful conditions sometimes and make sure that the prisoners released really deserve this concession.
