Lisa Harvey

Tuesday June 28, 2022

Join us for a fascinating evening with Lisa Harvey, who will relate exciting experiences from her 14-year career as a Probation and Parole Officer. She began working for the New Mexico Corrections Department in 1990. Prior to hiring on with the state, Lisa interned as a caseworker for the Honor Unit at Los Lunas / Central Medium Restrict Prison, which housed many men involved in the NM Prison Riot of 1980.
Working in the Presentence Unit, Lisa made sentencing recommendations to the Second Judicial District Court. Moving to the Intensive Supervision Unit, she supervised high-risk, dangerous prisoners. Lisa trained and worked with FBI, DEA, and State Police. Her unit was first in the state to use electronic monitoring. Although Lisa left law enforcement in 2004 to begin a practice as a therapist, she still maintains her friendships with officers and Parole Board members.
