Joseph a Marro

The Criminal Justice System with a View from the Bottom Joseph a Marro

Joseph A Marro retired from the criminal justice system in 1977, after 23 years of dealing with the criminal element of society as a United States Probation/Parole Officer. He says no days were the same. He worked with a staggering range of personalities, among them probationers, parolees, prisoners, lawyers and even judges. Everybody's life has trials and tribulations, but most of us manage to control our behavior in ways that affect our well-being. Unfortunately, for Al Sailer, and many others, they failed to overcome develop these life skills in spite of the help offered by the Federal Justice System. In Al's case, he spent 26 years in penal institutions before he learned how to manage his life outside prison walls.
