ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR ATTORNEY-VOLUNTEER PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PROVIDE LAY ASSISTANCE FOR PAROLEES UPON THEIR RELEASE FROM PRISON.

Abstract

THE GUIDELINES SPECIFY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STATE AND NATIONAL VOLUNTEER PAROLE AIDE PROGRAMS. THEY DESCRIBE AS WELL ALL OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE STATE PROJECT - THE BAR, PAROLE AUTHORITY, STEERING COMMITTEE, LOCAL SUBCOMMITTEES, PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR, VOLUNTEER, PAROLE OFFICER, AND PAROLEE. THE GUIDELINES OUTLINE THE CRITICAL TASKS IN LAUNCHING A PROJECT, AND PROVIDE TOOLS AND IDENTIFY RESOURCES TO FACILITATE THE PROCESS. MAJOR ELEMENTS OF A PROJECT ARE EMPHASIZED, WHILE RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR FLEXIBILITY WITHIN EACH INDEPENDENT STATE STRUCTURE.
