How Parole Really Works in Arizona | Reentry, Recidivism & Rehabilitation Explained

In this episode of TRUTH with Belen, Phoenix criminal defense attorney Belén Olmedo Guerra sits down with Michelle Palmer, a corrections professional whose career spans Canada, the Arizona Department of Corrections, parole supervision leadership, and now justice-based healthcare at Valleywise Health. Michelle shares a rare inside look at how the correctional system, parole supervision, and reentry programs actually work — and why successful reintegration requires more than simply releasing someone from prison. This conversation explores the human side of supervision, accountability, addiction recovery, and community safety. Topics discussed include: • The transition from correctional officer to parole officer • Why reentry preparation is often missing inside prisons • The real challenges people face after release • The impact of Arizona’s former “Three Strikes” violation rule • Motivational Interviewing and modern supervision practices • Reducing recidivism while maintaining community safety • Habilitation vs rehabilitation explained • Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) and addiction recovery • Valleywise Health’s “My Re-entry Journey – 180 Days of Purpose” program • Advice for families supporting loved ones returning from prison Michelle Palmer currently serves as Justice Liaison for Valleywise Health in Maricopa County, helping justice-involved individuals successfully transition back into the community with medical care, peer support, and structured reentry planning. TRUTH with Belen brings real conversations about criminal justice, accountability, and second chances from the professionals working inside the system. 📍 Phoenix, Arizona 🌐 https://www.belenlawfirm.com 📞 (602) 715-0908 ⚖️ Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
