Light interventions: meet with community based correctional personnel (probation officers, community service supervisors) those with stricter sanctions meet with institutional-based workers (correctional officers, parole officers, psychologists) Work done in each interval is meant to complement the other parts of the system. Prior to judicial appointment they have very little training and only require a minimum of 10 years of legal practice. Once the sentence is laid the responsibility for implementation of his sentence is carried out by the correctional workers in the community and institutions. Job of the correctional officer is: to maintain the safety and security of federal penitentiaries by monitoring, supervising, and interacting with incarcerated offenders.
