Bristol County Sheriff’s Office creates new jobs for post-release services; here is how much you can make
DARTMOUTH – The Bristol County Sheriff’s Office posted several jobs on Friday to support Sheriff Paul Heroux’s commitment to reduce recidivism though strategic discharge planning.
The positions include an Assistant Director, four Coordinators and other positions focused of securing housing, healthcare, and employment for inmates being released from jail.
“Housing, healthcare, and employment are the three pillars of prisoner re-entry. These are necessary to reduce the risk of an inmate reoffending after release from jail,” Sheriff Heroux said. “Finding inmates housing, healthcare, and jobs is challenging because of their criminal records and complicated life histories. We need specialists to address each of these post-release needs.
“In the past, each employee was focused on housing, healthcare, and a job, leaving that employee spread thin and not developing an expertise in any one of those challenging areas,” Sheriff Heroux continued. “Under this reorganization and the newly created positions, employees tasked with helping inmates find housing, will only work on housing. This allows the employee to develop expertise in just housing, resulting in better housing placement for the inmate. Employees tasked with helping inmates find a job, will only work on employment, resulting in better job placement for the inmate. The same thing goes for healthcare, which will include mental health and drug treatment after release.”
The positions, which will be posted on the BCSO website (www.bcso-ma.us) and LinkedIn, include:

It’s absolutely amazing how this state just bends to the will of criminals from Rachel Rollins to the average junkie. There are homeless vets living in the streets and their number priority is career criminals. Their policies are abject failures. The reason for recidivism isn’t because they can’t find a job it’s because they don’t want to work for $15 dollars an hour when they can make $3K a week dealing drugs. These failed policies costs the taxpayers billions , save the money keep them locked up for good. They’re not fit to live amongst society.

Hey a lot of assumptions there buddy! Are you an expert or you just making uneducated assumptions?
Do you realize you live in a state with some of the lowest crime rates in the country? Some of one of lowest violent crime rates in the country? The lowest gun crimes in the country? There’s a reason for that it’s the way we do things in Massachusetts, intelligently! like I keep on saying if you hate Mass so much leave. There’s some idiot states like Mississippi that’d be perfect for you! It’s obvious your only problem is you hate Democrats so much because you’ve been brainwashed into believing that they’re communist when you’re hanging out with the fascist because the extreme to the right is fascism and that’s what’s been happening in this country! You’re a follower, a sucker, not a leader!

Everything you just typed can be can be applied to yourself. Textbook projection. Do you realize you live in a state that’s one of the deepest in debt and all of these pet projects are making it worse? Like I told you before I’m working on getting out of this poorly run state. And more projection on your behalf I don’t just hate Democrats I also hate Republicans as well, Both are equally useless and neither are a friend citizens. It’s morons like you who think you’re on the ” right ” side and you’re correct and the Republicans feel the exact same way. You’re opposite sides of the exact same ( problem ) coin. You’re the sucker who keeps voting for morons thinking you’re going to get that ” change ” Keeping voting for politicians that take care of the extremely wealthy and the extremely poor. This state will end up like California enjoy it it’s what you voted for.

Total BS. The state has a huge surplus. Just keep on making up alternative facts. Kellyanne Conway would be proud of you! California, one of the most successful states in the country? Look, like I said if you hate this state so much don’t let the door hit you in the a** on your way out. Really why are you staying If you hate it so much?
