John Husser November 2, 2023 Gui7 Dr. Brown What do you like most about your work? The redemption in seeing a formerly incarcerated person turn their life around and become clean and sober, contributing members of society. What are your main responsibilities as a…? Well, I serve as a Chief Operations Manager and House Manager for a prison reentry transitional housing organization. My main responsibilities revolve around making sure the homes have food and hygiene supplies for the men; cleaning supplies; utilities, working refrigerators, washers, and driers; that the homes are being kept clean and habitable; that the men are in compliance with their conditions of parole including participating in whatever personal development programs their parole agent has mandated for them and that the men become “employment ready” (i.e., obtain California Drivers License/Identification Card, Social Security Card, Birth Certificate if needed, etc.) as quickly as reasonably possible. What kinds of decisions do you make? I help decide who the program accepts as a participant, what companies to contract with for cleaning and hygiene supplies, what disciplinary sanctions to impose on a program participant for infractions of the program rules, when to discharge a program participant for non-compliance with program rules, maintenance schedules for the program vehicles. How does your position fit within the organization/career field/industry? My position is administrative level below Program Director and on par with Outreach Coordinator. It is an essential, upper-level position within the field of prison reentry/transitional housing work. How did you become interested in this field? I served a lengthy term in prison myself. Over the course of my two-decades-plus in there I participated in numerous rehabilitative

programs and came to understand that my own rehabilitation would only be completed when I in turn put my hand to helping others become rehabilitated. the opportunity to work on interesting projects, collaborate with a talented team or learn new skills. Many individuals choose to study criminal justice because they want to make a difference. They desire to help those in need, protect the greater good, and serve the people above all else. Within criminal justice, you can work with victims of crime, assist in solving crimes, or help prevent crime in your community What kinds of accomplishments tend to be valued and rewarded in this field? 1 - Listen - Actively listen to people and engage. You are spending time talking to them and they are doing the same, so respect that and don't let yourself get distracted by others or technology 2- Patience - People can communicate very differently, so having patience to understand and communicate effectively will go a long way. 3 - Communication - Being able to effectively communicate and let people know what is happening during projects or upcoming changes will go a long way to gaining a positive reputation of someone who cares and informs those around them. There are many more but I find just by doing these things above, will set you on the right path toward have a great career.
