<p>Individuals released from prison or jail are  likely to need support to maintain employment, or to find jobs if they have not  done so prior to their release to the community. Preceding policy statements,  including <a href="/Report/PartII/ChapterII-B/PolicyStatement15">Policy Statement 15</a> (Education and Vocational  Training), <a href="/Report/PartII/ChapterII-B/PolicyStatement16">Policy Statement 16</a> (Work Experience), <a href="/Report/PartII/ChapterII-D/PolicyStatement21">Policy Statement 21</a> (Creation of Employment  Opportunities), and <a href="/Report/PartII/ChapterII-D/PolicyStatement22">Policy Statement 22</a>  (Workforce Development and the Transition Plan), have provided a blueprint for  preparing people during their incarceration for employment and for stimulating  job creation in the community. Community corrections officials can complement  these strategies by assisting individuals after release with logistical barriers  to employment, trying to accommodate the job requirements of these individuals  in implementing the supervision strategy, and referring releasees to  community-based organizations that provide more extensive employment services.  </p></items>
