Husband looking for job?

The parole officers demands are unreasonable. It takes someone with a clean record longer than two weeks to find a job!!! Let alone someone recently released from prison. I think that if your husband has been putting forth an intense and honest effort, especially if he is working with a few agencies that if it boiled down to it that he could avoid going back to jail. I'm sure that there would be some sort of hearing before they put him back in jail (I'm assuming for parole violation), at which time you guys could scrape together all the evidence of his efforts and present it to the judge. I'm talking about copies of applications, rejection letter, letters from the agencies, anything to prove he's been looking. Good luck to you guys!

It seems to me that his parole officer is a little bit unreasonable.

It is difficult for anybody with a clean record to find a full time job these days.

You say that he must find a job by next week right? The only thing I can think of is to get his or your relative or friend to give him a job, if anybody you know own a business or a restaurant, the owner can always give him a full time job. At least you have something to show the parole officer, so he can leave him alone.

Good luck to you

By the way, you didn't mention if paying restitution is part of the term of your husband's probation. If that is the case, you must keep up with the restitution.

My uncle owns several restaurants in the orange county areas, and he hired this one person who is on probation (full time) in the kitchen. That's why I suggested you to try the privately owned restaurants, and businesses. If you have friends and relatives own business, that would be the best.

Other than being extremly strong and hopeful. You cant do anything with these people. They will not listen to anything. Cops and parole officers just plain suk. you cannot win. Jails are not rehabilitation centers. They are storage units that add fuel to the fire and make bad situations worse. If hi P.O. looks into his efforts and see's he is trying then he'll have to work. Believe me the last thing these people want to do is their job. Its way easier to just throw em back in prison. Where do you live? He can work for me.

I understand everyone deserves a chance no matter who they are, but his parole officer should know how hard he is trying and help him find a job, his parole officer should not want to send him back to jail, so his parole officer should be doing everything and anything he can to help him out.

I would ask his parole officer for help and tell his parole officer how hard he is working and tell his parole officer how afraid you are that he will go back, I think he really needs to get in touch with his parole officer and work with him more.

I wish you luck!

McDonald's, Burber King, Taco Bell, Taco Cabana, Sonic

Maybe the parole officer is just preassuring him to get ajob so he really gets a job and gets a second chance at life.

Sorry but I don't believe that they will put him back in jail if he is unemployed. That just doesn't make sense. How can your husband control the unemployment rate in this country? Sounds like there is more to this than finding a job. Someone's not telling the whole story.

I understand what you are saying, that it is hard for him with his history and the job market, but I also agree with them. So many people would find it easier to not bother looking and stay on social assistance than actually find and get a job. He is just being pushed/motivated.

Good luck to you and to him in his job hunt.

Check with friends and family and see if their place of employment is hiring. That, or try McDonalds.

Have him tell the Parole Officer to go scr*w himself.
