What is an inmate counselor?

Inmate Counselors are professionals who work in correctional facilities to provide guidance, support, and rehabilitation services to incarcerated individuals. They assess inmates' needs, develop treatment or rehabilitation plans, and help them cope with the challenges of incarceration. Inmate Counselors may also facilitate group therapy, provide crisis intervention, and assist with reintegration planning for release. Their goal is to support inmates in making positive changes and reducing the likelihood of reoffending.
