Fascinating, enlightening, and downright SAD....
You read about all the different people author deals with. You get to know them as people. I loved this book!

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Thank you so much for writing this book.
As a former PO myself, I have often thought that there should be a book about probation/parole that accurately describes the work.
This book is scarily accurate in the depictions of the overloaded caseload, the risk/needs assessment tool, the offenders, and the burnout among PO's.
You can feel the heat of the oppressive NOLA"s summer, the fine balancing act between jail and social services, and the families.
I loved the book for pulling back the curtain and giving a realistic look at what is desperately needed for the criminal justice system.
