"I read that Koutoujian is a lawyer with over a decade under his belt as a prosecutor."

No, not in the way I mean it--I mean something closer to daily contact with the prisoners, or even weekly, seeing them, knowing how they are doing and what's going on with them, perhaps a closer vantage point to see their circumstances, and how they could be rehabilitaed.

"Having had bad personal experiences with corrections officers (Petrone's only 'qualification' so far as I could tell) I wasn't about to vote for one."

May I ask about that exeperience? No pressure, but I am curious. I have only second-hand experience with corrections officers in Ma as the father of someone dear to me worked as one, and I know a bit about the friendships that transpired when the prisoners were released. I would not doubt that there were some bad ones, but I'm curious more specifically what happened if you feel comfortable sharing.
