To reiterate my opening comment, I think correctional officers need to be a bit more involved when it comes to the reports and the reports being taken into consideration through any parole hearings or assessments for decisions. Also, population management is something that the union or correctional officers in general aren't really involved in. These are meetings that happen at the local levels, regional levels and national levels. We need to be involved in that.
I will be honest with you. I was a parole officer for four months of my 21-year career, and an inmate inside an institution acts completely differently toward a parole officer from how they act toward a correctional officer and with their fellow inmates. When they're meeting with their parole officer, they're not exactly themselves. It is the correctional officers who know exactly the behaviours and the mentality of the inmates they're working very closely with 24-7, so yes, I would like to see some changes there.
