Abstract

THE VOLUNTEER PAROLE AID PROGRAM EXPANDED TO INCLUDE CITIZENS OUTSIDE THE LEGAL PROFESSION IN THE NEW VOLUNTEERS IN CORRECTIONS PROGRAM. A TREND HAS NOW DEVELOPED TOWARDS UTILIZING LOCAL CO-SPONSORS FOR CORRECTIONAL VOLUNTEER PROJECTS. THIS PERMITS CONCENTRATION ON LOCAL NEEDS AND LOCAL PROBLEMS, WHILE STATE-WIDE COORDINATION IS PROVIDED THROUGH THE STATE AND REGIONAL COORDINATORS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
