Local parole agents warn a proposed reorganization could force lay offs and lessen supervision. District 5 Marion office has 15 positions but only seven filled, with 12 in the sex offender unit. Officials say the plan aims to boost public safety and efficiency, not reduce parole work. The union argues staffing shortages will worsen under cuts and more inmates may be released or monitored electronically.
