When I was a solid waste coordinator for a city of 80,000 our sanitation department would be approached by the county detention center for possible job placement for men that would soon be released...some of them were 2nd & 3rd time incarcerated offenders...some of them were considered long term criminals with assault & battery/armed robbery/sexual assault charges that they were serving time for; but we {the administration} were never allowed to know what they had actually been serving time for...only generalities and that they had done their time and were soon to be released and would be needing to be employed with supervision. Some we hired some we did not. It was left up to the commercial sanitation supervisor and the residential supervisor whether or not they felt comfortable about the person that they were interviewing...depending on their individual work related job history, what ever that encompassed and the box that they were to check for if they had ever served time for a felony, nothing about the specifics {they {the Supervisors were only told that they were going to be living at a half-way house and would need a ride to & from work for their shifts if they were to get hired}. I did have to call the Police Department regarding one rather mouthy new released man that was making verbal threats and harassing our African American workers...and all they could tell me was rather or not he had ever been charged or sentenced for a weapon charge...never was I ever given the specifics for his particular case...but he was discharged prior to the end of his 90 probation period. But good strong/hard working/humans were hard to come by and we had so many out on 'walking wounded/aka Workman's Compensation claims' that we had to do something to keep the sanitation picked up and our routes done. So it is highly possible that prisoners on work release are out here among us and we really don't know exactly who they are!
