Week 3 integration question

Week 3:
Policy/macro: What Indiana Bills & Resolutions for the Spring 08 Legislative Session are of interest to you personally? What Indiana Bills & Resolutions are of interest to you professionally? Describe their significance to you, your agency, & your clients.
Many of my personal interests are the same as my professional interests since I hope to work professionally in a field that has personal interest to me. Welfare, criminal justice, and mental illness are all topics I am deeply interested in, and therefore follow more closely. Indiana Senate Bill 350 was introduced to provide for funding for community mental health centers- that of something that interests me personally, and also relates to my current practicum employment at Cummins Mental Health Center.
Indiana House Bill 1313 relates to inmate employment counseling and searches. This is more of a personal interest, although I hope one day to work with inmates, at which time may determine this to be a professional interest as well if passed. Many inmates, upon release, have no plans in place to find suitable housing, let alone suitable employment. Inmates are released with only their personal property, often not gaining any insightful education or locating useful resources. This bill would allow for inmates to begin searches, through means of (monitored) internet access, to find employment 90 days prior to their release date. I personally believe this would be a great benefit to inmates so they may be gainfully employed upon release, and not fall prey to their old ways of survival.
