基础知识

Bar Association Support to Improve Correctional Services (基础知识) is an offender rehabilitation program sponsored by the 基础知识 Committee of the 乔治亚州律师协会. 基础知识 assists program participants in being able to stay out of jail, 通过合法手段, once they are released by providing effective instruction, 指导和就业辅导.

基础知识' Mission is to aid and steer inmates in the direction of self-rehabilitation. 在课堂上, 我们协助您发展事业, 教育和/或工作计划, 准备简历, setting goals and teaching interviewing techniques. 在释放, 我们协助找工作, applying for colleges or vocational schools, completing or changing personal action plans, 以及制定财务计划.

The 基础知识 Program was initiated in 1976 by the American Bar Association in answer to a Supreme Court challenge to attorneys to have a more active role in criminal reform.

The 乔治亚州律师协会's 基础知识 World of Work Program is the only one still in existence.
