[NABS-L] internship leads

[Jorge Alejandro Paez]

Hi Keri:
So first off where are you?
I did an internship last year the my county’s Public Defender’s office where the attorney I worked with worked mostly with pre-trial intervention program clients and other types of programs like that, including mental health court, veterans court and drug court.
If you are in Broward you should apply there and I’m sure if you’re in another county they should have something similar.
If you’re not but you could get some useful info out of an interview or such please email me:
iamjorgeapaez94 at gmail.com <mailto:iamjorgeapaez94 at gmail.com>
and I can put you in touch with the attorney I worked with to talk about things like that.
Another note is that even under the best of time you won’t get accepted into jails.
At my internship last year I was supposed to do the jail-interview notetaking for my attorney, and everyone on the public defender’s office’s staff was very good about meeting my accomodations, but the jails refused to let me in.
So yeah I honestly don’t know if you would’ve had any luck there even under normal circumstances.

Jorge

I was going to be working with a case management team in a regional jail. Now I have a month to try and find an alternative placement. I am a forensic psychology masters student very focused on the CJ system and how to cut recidivism rates. I'm very interested in reentry programs and community programs to address these issues. If anyone knows of any company that may take a last minute intern, especially a remote intern please let me know.
