The state of Oregon had a policy, probably still does, where if you had a person on your parole case load you had to personally see them once a month. So if you had a parolee in a treatment center or correctional facility on the other side of the state you drove to see him. Having a parole officer in the area where the person was being held see them would have been crazy.. I know I asked why we didn't do that.
Oregon tax dollars at work. Not only do you get to drive almost daily but due to distance you often end up with either overtime or comp time.
