Parolee York was convicted and sent to prison for two years for aggravated assault. She has a history of violent behavior and anger management issues. She has no known drug nor alcohol problems and until recently was a dishwasher at Joe’s Pancake House. She has been under parole supervision with you for the last five months and for a time was reporting regularly. Special conditions of Ms. York’s supervision require she complete anger management classes by the end of her term, which is supposed to end in seven months. Anger management treatment takes three months, and the program has a waiting list of clients who are court-ordered to attend treatment. She has repeatedly stated she would undergo an anger management assessment but just never has. When you call to verify employment at the restaurant, her employer says that she quit coming three weeks ago and has been replaced by another dishwasher. Now two weeks have gone by since you called Joe’s Pancake House and still no sign of Ms. York. You called the jail to see whether she had been picked up, but police have had no contact with her. What should you do next?
