Download or read book The Secret s Out written by Anthony Isaacs and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret's Out offers two program models-Footsteps for those incarcerated and Reentry for released parolees-to help avoid and decrease high numbers of behavioral problems by returning citizens currently experiencing addictions, socially diminished lifestyles, financial hardships, and homelessness. The Footsteps and Reentry models, once utilized and embraced, can restore a sense of purpose, stability, pride, and focus to our returning citizens. Footsteps has a unique program design (with ten specialized areas of focus) that deals with modern-day realities and addresses unique issues in practical and productive ways. Its holistic self-help approach empowers individuals to actively participate in the transformation of their lives. Its major goal is to assist our returning citizens, while incarcerated, with gaining the necessary skills and training to achieve independent living upon release. Correctional institutions must examine and address the unique issues men and women are confronted with when entering the prison. Often, these men and women are still suffering from immediate effects of broken relationships and shock of the newfound incarceration. As a result, it is often difficult for them to adjust to the many rules and regulations imposed on them by a structured environmental program. The Footsteps model is the foundation of the transformative thinking necessary for success upon release and the precursor for the second phase of the independent living framework: Reentry for returning citizens. The second phase of the transformation process is Reentry. The Reentry model was created and developed as a guide to assist the reentry community with having a framework for success with our returning citizens. It is very important that all reentry service providers speak the same language and have a clear understanding that there are different phases of the reentry process. In this way, we have a clear vision of the goals and can effectively monitor which phase a client has achieved and received services. The long-term goals of both program models are moving the clients toward independent living without risky behaviors that contribute to criminal mentality and negative outcomes. It is also important to assist the returning citizen in understanding what mental health is and how to maintain mental health wellness. There must be a discussion and exploration about the different ways stress and trauma impacts our well-being, as well as seeking and developing coping strategies, such as stress reduction activities. In addition, the overall physical health and well-being of the individual must be given a focus, and individuals must be educated about affordable methods of healthy eating to guide them in maintaining their physical health, healthy lifestyle, the importance of regular checkups, and having proper medical coverage and a primary-care physician. It is the ability to have and enjoy gainful employment and independent housing. It is the understanding of and enjoying a positive relationship with family and friends. The Secret's Out is a book that provides a blueprint for correctional administrators, correctional staff, public officials, reentry agencies and reentry organizations to use as a guide to effectively assist the men and women who have experienced incarceration and now seeking to gain the soft skills and training necessary to achieve employment and independent living.

Download or read book A Stranger in the House of God written by John Koessler and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith
Download or read book When Prisoners Come Home written by Joan Petersilia and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, hundreds of thousands of jailed Americans leave prison and return to society. Largely uneducated, unskilled, often without family support, and with the stigma of a prison record hanging over them, many if not most will experience serious social and psychological problems after release. Fewer than one in three prisoners receive substance abuse or mental health treatment while incarcerated, and each year fewer and fewer participate in the dwindling number of vocational or educational pre-release programs, leaving many all but unemployable. Not surprisingly, the great majority is rearrested, most within six months of their release. What happens when all those sent down the river come back up--and out? As long as there have been prisons, society has struggled with how best to help prisoners reintegrate once released. But the current situation is unprecedented. As a result of the quadrupling of the American prison population in the last quarter century, the number of returning offenders dwarfs anything in America's history. What happens when a large percentage of inner-city men, mostly Black and Hispanic, are regularly extracted, imprisoned, and then returned a few years later in worse shape and with dimmer prospects than when they committed the crime resulting in their imprisonment? What toll does this constant "churning" exact on a community? And what do these trends portend for public safety? A crisis looms, and the criminal justice and social welfare system is wholly unprepared to confront it. Drawing on dozens of interviews with inmates, former prisoners, and prison officials, Joan Petersilia convincingly shows us how the current system is failing, and failing badly. Unwilling merely to sound the alarm, Petersilia explores the harsh realities of prisoner reentry and offers specific solutions to prepare inmates for release, reduce recidivism, and restore them to full citizenship, while never losing sight of the demands of public safety. As the number of ex-convicts in America continues to grow, their systemic marginalization threatens the very society their imprisonment was meant to protect. America spent the last decade debating who should go to prison and for how long. Now it's time to decide what to do when prisoners come home.
