Butler, of the District’s Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency, oversees the supervisors for the program’s female offenders. The agency recently reorganized to have all supervisors report to one field office and for it to provide services specifically for women. The agency will host a forum for female offenders at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Temple of Praise in Southeast Washington. Why the reorganization?
