A woman who wishes to be identified as "Patty", foreground, talks to her parole officer Mickey Taylor, right, and his colleague Rick Arnold in a Montgomery County, Pa., coffee house where she is employed, Jan. 21, 1997. Patty is in Montgomery County's intensive supervision parole and probation program. While officers in some probation departments are forced to supervise as many as 300 offenders, intensive supervision agents have more manageable caseloads. (AP Photo/Mpozi Mshale Tolbert)
