Manchester Students Serving As Interns In Correction A grant to Manchester college by the Indiana Criminal Justice Planning Agency is underwriting a student work experience educational project in correction for the summer of 1972. Twenty Manchester college students are now serving as interns in correction in 10 counties of regions two and three of the Indiana Criminal Justice Planning Agency. The purpose of the program is to up-grade correctional personnel and to increase the effectiveness of corrections and rehabilitation. Its object is to provide opportunity for persons considering careers in corrections or related vocations to experience organizational and task operations of the criminal justice system; to provide opportunity for persons ticipating careers in corrections to suggest and-or implement programs which focus on the rehabilitation of community offenders and to provide for probationers greater opportunity to achieve collaborative relationships with peers who are functioning effectively in the community, thus to be integrated into the working community. Students selected for this project are majors in the social sciences. Their assignment is for the three months of June, July and August, 1972 and throughout the academic year of 1972-73 if the coordinator of the project and the employing agency approve and if the intern is carrying a full course load at the college.
