Book Overview
After more than a decade working inside the justice system as a probation officer, detention guard, and truancy officer, PJ Rios pulls back the curtain on what really happens in the street, in the courtroom, and in the probation office.
In 10 Things Your Probation Officer Won’t Tell You, But Should, Rios delivers a raw, honest, and eye opening guide for anyone navigating probation. With practical insight, she reveals the unspoken truths that can make or break a person’s freedom, reputation and future.
Through chapters like “Get Your Own Attorney,” “Paper Tells Your Story,” and “You Are Your Biggest Rat,” Rios exposes the realities that few officers ever admit out loud. Readers will discover how recommendations really work, why isolation can sometimes be your safest move, and how to recognize when “rehabilitation” is just another word for survelliance.
This isn’t a lecture it’s a lifeline. Written with compassion and firsthand experience, Rios empowers readers to understand the system, protect themselves, and build a better path forward.
