Parole Officers Short in Iowa Prisons
Iowa prisons could release about 500 inmates if more parole officers were available, says Nolan Ellandson head of the state prison system. He notes 20 more officers are needed to handle cases and pre sentence investigations, with current staff supervising over 1,900 inmates. Parole and probation offer economic and social benefits, he argues, contrasting the $4,000 yearly cost of incarceration with $350 for probation or parole.
