I'm not sure if parole officers are that thorough, though admittedly I don't have much experience in that department.
Morituri:
Um.
At least occasionally, parole officers are so ... thorough ... in inspecting the bodies of parolees "for evidence of various types of unlawful activity", that rape charges were filed afterward and convictions were handed down.
Factor in the HUGE number of parolees too scared to say anything/press charges, and the number of people who don't give a rat's ass whether parolees get basic legal protection, and you have to figure it happens a hundred times for every conviction.
At this point some of those former parole officers may be going to parole officers of their own - which would have some interesting interpersonal dynamics, wouldn't it?
Kugai:
Momos expression speaks volumes I think

Hmm... I wonder if May actually owns her body? We know that in QCworld, AIs migrate from non-humanoid "functional" bodies to humanoid ones, so presumably their legal "self" is their AI core process? May's description of robot prison sounded like some sort of processor-rack where here consciousness was stored. I confess that I don't know what happens when human prisoners are released. I don't think they are issued with clothes, like a "demob suit", are they? Or are they?

Unfortunately, any social role that involves authority over others will attract people who enjoy exercising it, and some who will abuse it.

So very true. Even where nominal legal rights have been achieved, the struggle for social and economic equality continues. To the front!
Tova:
Indeed. A highly apropos statement (as I am guessing was intended) for International Women's Day.
