Facility-based Community Parole Officers (FCPO) work with offenders who are within 180 days of their release in order to address barriers and to help establish viable transitional release plans that meet stabilization factors, as well as any continued treatment and supportive services in the community. Pre-Release Specialists (PRS) and Release Case Managers (RCM) provide comprehensive release services to those transitioning from incarceration to the community. We provide additional support to Case Managers, Education Staff, Facility Parole Officers, Community Parole Officers, and Community Re-Entry Specialists in developing inmate transition plans. Pre-Release Specialists offer classes, labs, and one-on-one meetings to identify potential barriers to success in the community. These include securing personal identification paperwork, housing, employment, transportation, money management, education, healthy lifestyle choices, family relationships and support networks, victim awareness, and navigating life under supervision.
