" if they bail do you rat them out? "
I missed that one in my previous, rambling message.
Yes, I report back to parole agents on all classes, telling them who showed up and indicating if there were any behavior problems. People often don't show for the class, but behavior hasn't been an issue. I find it is important to seem trustworthy and responsible to the agents. They won't promote the program if they think I'm not serious about the job. Reporting back keeps them from worrying about guys finding trouble during scheduled release times.

We have a contract with MDOC to provide bikes and training as a transportation solution for recently released parolees. That one required
a
thick contract with clear budget and description of services.
can you talk more about how this works? are people required by their parole officers to attend training sessions once they've signed up for them? if they bail do you rat them out? have there been other difficulties? did they initially approach you, or you them? i've been interested in something like this for our shop, but i'm also torn about it.
