I was literally just about to write this.This attitude is probably a sign you should stop working in the system. Where’s your belief in rehabilitation and that people can change?
How can you be committed to working in the system when that is your general attitude...
In response to OP. I would just tread cautiously. You seem like a smart woman so you know the potential risks- manipulation for money/ drugs , prisoners potentially wanting a romantic relationship etc. Don’t give out personal info, keep it above board and you will be fine. I think it is a great think to do. They have gone through the legal process, sentenced for their crimes and it really isn’t for anyone to cast judgement over the intricacies of it.
