Your post is confusing. Try giving us the basic facts first and then asking your questions about what happened. You start off saying that the corrections officer is charged with some crime just for talking to a former inmate, but then focus on how the former inmate is “just trying to do the right things and not go back to jail,” suggesting to me that it is the former inmate, not the corrections officer, who is trouble over this. So, what were the circumstances of the conversation, what was discussed, who was charged and what crime is the state asserting was committed? Also, in what state is this taking place?

A corrections officer simply having a conversation with a former inmate about, say, the weather, wouldn’t be a crime. So there must be more to this. The details matter.

Not sure why this isn't on one of the criminal law boards.

My guess is that the person in question has been charged, which makes it rather obvious that he/she can be charged. With what crime was this person charged? In what state?

Could you please elaborate a bit more on your post?
