Offender Reentry - The Battle for the victim's voice to be heard
To follow is an email I sent out this morning to the person I am working with at Rep. Ed Brooks office and also probation. Background - My abuser is to be released in August of this year on extended supervision after having served 8 years of initial confinement in the Wisconsin Prison System - I live in a rural county and because of this there is 1 Temp Living Placement (TLP)...which happens to be 6 blks from my home. I have been raising issue over this situation for well over a year - My abuser was charged with 3 counts of 2nd degree sexual assault - battery - and 2 counts of causing mental harm to a child. Through a plea agreement he plead "no contest" and was found guilty of 1 count of 2nd degree sexual assault, and the battery - the remaining charges were read in to the record for the purpose of sentencing. I am fighting for systemic change where legally victims will have the right for input during the offender reentry process. The email Hello - Firs
