The World Is Full Of Surprises
|
The World Is Full Of Surprises I learned a few things today that I did not know. I'm currently at a training for my job. I'm working for the State in Juvenile Justice. So I'm back to working with adolescents again. Something I swore i would not do, but this time it is with boys and not girls. In the last 17 years I have encountered pretty much everything you can encounter in the criminal side of things. I have had little experience with juveniles that are sexual predators. Some of today's training dealt with that very topic. I learned the types of behaviors to look for from both residents and staff that are sexually assaulting someone in the facility. In addition, last week a resident told me that he is slated to enter an adult program within the next year. I didn't know anything about this program and decided to look it up. In about 5 minutes, I just learned everything about this program and where it is located. The resident in question seems to be confused. He thinks he is going to a state prison when in reality he is going to a sex offenders program for those that are at a high risk for continuing to commit aggressive sexual acts but also have diminished mental capacity. The program is located at a State Hospital. There is also the possibility that he could be there indefinitely if the courts deem it necessary due to his high risk behaviors. I've always hated training because it always seems like the same old shit just different day. Today was not like that. And the hotel I'm staying at is pretty nice! |

I worked in this field for nearly 8 years before I burned out and quit. I have the greatest respect for the folks who work on-on-one with these troubled youth. However, I have almost universal contempt for many of the policy makers and administrators in the field. There is a belief that punishment is the only remediation. And in my mind, Pennsylvania is among the worse state in this area among the Atlantic sea coast states in regard to funding, policy and standard practices. Thank you for working in this field. I don't mean to sound so negative, but it needs good people for it to change. Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back...
