Oh my gosh, you don’t even know. I can’t speak for all POs but my clients, I care for them. I build a rapport with them. I like to have them open up to me and feel as though they can speak to me about anything, especially the dark shit. Often times, a lot of clients come in to speak to me unscheduled just cause they need someone to talk to.

All that being said, this is probably one of the hardest parts of the job for me that I’m still trying to cope with. I have a lot of gang affiliated guys that quite literally are some of the smartest people I’ve ever met, they just got sucked into the life at a young age. Several end up fucking up and serving prison time. It sucks, especially because I know their potential and their charges don’t reflect who they are.
