Yes I'm writing about my brother which spent over 10 years in Prison and then out on parole It is a truly sad thing when these offenders get out of prison we as communities would hope that between prison programs and other programs these offenders are having to complete that they would come back out in our community better people.Some will some won't But with the way probation and parole is run I'm afraid this will never happen. I truly believe that it's the probation officers that make these offenders what they become once they get out.They make them mean and hateful people, even the ones that never were. In my experience I've seen and heard first hand what these probation officers do to these offenders once they are released. They threaten them embarrass them reticule them punish them over and over even though they have did nothing wrong to deserve it since their release. And for the people or families that are helping them it's just as bad for them, I been threatened a couple of times by his probation officer.they tell my husband and I what we can and can't do,who we can have over and who we can't.They threaten him on a daily basis that they will put him back in prison.Since he came to stay with us he has not been able to leave this house not even to help with yard work around hear she said don't even poke your head out the door.He has been in the house for 7 days without even stepping foot out of here, we are not even able to take him looking for a job, he is unable to go to the store with us. Before he came to live with us he was able to run all over Kenosha for 12 hours a day unmonitored and without supervision now what sense does that make. Sure you can file a grievance but it goes nowhere and you just keep going up the ladder and still nothing happens.Why do they not have anyone to answer to for their misconduct and why are they not being punished for their mistakes. Concerned Citizen I also wanted to say sorry for all you offenders out there having to go through the same thing my brother is hang in there someone has to at some point start listening to what we are saying !
