I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
Correctional counselors are not, generally speaking, counselors in the mental health usage of the word. At least in CA there is a mechanism for letting some prisoners out temporarily under certain circumstances. It is called TCL, Temporary Community Leave. The counselor is an important part of the paperwork chain in this process. Normally a prison shrink would be the one to help the prisoner "cope" with the stress of the situation.

I am unfamiliar with the terminology. My educated guess means that he will be on parole supervision for the rest of his life when/if he is ever paroled. I could easily be wrong.

I am unsure what you want. I don't see a question here. I am GUESSING that you want me to supply information on the "old" system versus the "new" system. Since I have now been out for more than 12 years I don't think I will be able to supply much help. Sorry.

My opinion, for what that may be worth is, generally speaking, no.

It varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It would almost certainly have to be reported both to the probation officer and to the employing agency. Generally speaking it would be considered to be inappropriate and even illegal due to the fact that there is a power imbalance between the two. The law would consider that the officer was in some fashion coercing behavior from the probationer even if it were not actually true. IF there was a documented relationship between the two prior to incarceration and if both the employer and probation officer approved you could get by with it. If not you could easily end up with the officer being fired and even prosecuted. I have seen it happen.

If the "victim" looks scared to death and shys away whenever the "aggressor" is in his immediate error would be one good clue. If you go by the cell or other enclosed semi-private area and see the "victim" performing an act of fellatio on the "aggressor" with a knife to his throat would be another pretty good clue.

It depends where. Some jurisdictions use a very bootcamp-like training operation. Some a very classroom oriented with a minimal physical component and necessary chemical agents and firearms training.
