Hey Graham Vradenburg,
You did great work in participating in this week’s discussion on probation and parole. I agree with you that probation is an essential element in the criminal justice system. Probation provides an alternative for serving sentences in individuals convicted with minor offenses.I also agree that that Boot Camps programs benefit the community by improving its safety since individuals from Boot Camps are less prone to commit crimes (May et al.,2017). However, I think Boot Camps are good at building a disciplined society. Inmates from boot camps have to make better decisions aligning with society principles.
