Corrections Connection: This Week In Corrections

EDITOR'S CORNER

We begin December's editorial focus, corrections' impact on the community, with an article about one man's travels to the still-ravaged areas of Louisiana and Mississippi. Don Dease left for New Orleans after watching Katrina's destruction to see how he could help. In October, he went again only to find continued ruin, especially in areas where many COs live. He writes about what he finds and what corrections pracittioners can do to help their peers in need.

READER FEEDBACK

Regarding Supervising the cyber-offender: Are you ready?, 11/20/07

Thanks so much for mentioning our training, "Managing Sex Offenders' Computer Use," in your article. This is the first time we've been able to offer it since the Jessica's Laws have been passed around the country and we're very excited to get this info out to probation and parole officers who supervise this type of offender.
