This assignment helps you demonstrate the structural differences between a state corrections department, a county or municipal jail, and a probation or parole agency.
Tasks:
Search the Internet and find an organizational chart each for a state department of corrections, a county or municipal jail, and a probation or parole department.
Based on these organizational charts, write a brief paper describing the differences in the organizational structure of the three agencies. Focus on the tasks performed by various components.
For example, a state department of corrections may have a division for educational programming; however, due to the short terms of jail inmates, educational services are generally not provided in a jail.
