CRJ 100- Introduction to Criminal Justice
June 15, 2015
In the course of this semester in Jurisville I have worked with some of the most experienced of the criminal justice world. Robert Donovan, a probation officer, who asked me to help with a project he was working on, Brennan Brooke, a senior criminologist, who asked for my opinion on a subject that was at hand with the correctional facilities, Orlando Boyce, a sergeant at Deephall prison, who needed an opinion on programs he was investigating. All of these professionals need my help to ensure that everything is running smoothly at these places.

Kris Young is 25 years old and is being charged with theft, he walked out of a well-known store with a $600 leather jacket that he did not pay for.

One last thing they could offer is a re-entry program to help inmates prepare themselves to be released and improve the skills they will need to survive in the outside
