For those behind bars, one goal outshines all others: GETTING OUT! After being released, that goal then shifts to STAYING OUT! This book will help prisoners do both. It has been masterfully constructed into five parts that will help prisoners maximize focus while they strive to accomplish whichever goal is at hand. Part One: Get Out! Preparing For Board Hearings breaks down the process step by step and provides prisoners with much-needed tips and information that will increase their odds of being granted parole.

This part provides information, understanding, and insights that they need to uproot their compulsive-criminal mentality, and break the recidivist cycle. Part Three: The Change Process provides prisoners with proven strategies to a positive life change. These strategies cover multiple topics that may have affected their lives, such as anger, substance abuse, illegal activity, and gang involvement. Part Four: Stay Out! Preparing for Release covers obvious survival issues like money, employment, housing, and transportation, as well as not so obvious issues, like how to deal with the mental, emotional, and social changes that prisoners face upon release.

Download or read book Halfway Home written by Reuben Jonathan Miller and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "persuasive and essential" (Matthew Desmond) work that will forever change how we look at life after prison in America through Miller's "stunning, and deeply painful reckoning with our nation's carceral system" (Heather Ann Thompson). Each year, more than half a million Americans are released from prison and join a population of twenty million people who live with a felony record. Reuben Miller, a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and now a sociologist studying mass incarceration, spent years alongside prisoners, ex-prisoners, their friends, and their families to understand the lifelong burden that even a single arrest can entail. What his work revealed is a simple, if overlooked truth: life after incarceration is its own form of prison. The idea that one can serve their debt and return to life as a full-fledge member of society is one of America's most nefarious myths. Recently released individuals are faced with jobs that are off-limits, apartments that cannot be occupied and votes that cannot be cast. As The Color of Law exposed about our understanding of housing segregation, Halfway Home shows that the American justice system was not created to rehabilitate. Parole is structured to keep classes of Americans impoverished, unstable, and disenfranchised long after they've paid their debt to society. Informed by Miller's experience as the son and brother of incarcerated men, captures the stories of the men, women, and communities fighting against a system that is designed for them to fail. It is a poignant and eye-opening call to arms that reveals how laws, rules, and regulations extract a tangible cost not only from those working to rebuild their lives, but also our democracy. As Miller searchingly explores, America must acknowledge and value the lives of its formerly imprisoned citizens.

Download or read book Beyond Bars written by Jeffrey Ian Ross Ph.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential resource for former convicts and their families post-incarceration. The United States has the largest criminal justice system in the world, with currently over 7 million adults and juveniles in jail, prison, or community custody. Because they spend enough time in prison to disrupt their connections to their families and their communities, they are not prepared for the difficult and often life-threatening process of reentry. As a result, the percentage of these people who return to a life of crime and additional prison time escalates each year. Beyond Bars is the most current, practical, and comprehensive guide for ex-convicts and their families about managing a successful reentry into the community and includes: • Tips on how to prepare for release while still in prison • Ways to deal with family members, especially spouses and children • Finding a job • Money issues such as budgets, bank accounts, taxes, and debt • Avoiding drugs and other illicit activities • Free resources to rely on for support

Download or read book How to Stay Out written by Jack Berryman and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a self help book to help released inmates stay out of prison or jail. The good news is - you are going to get out. The bad news is, without a good plan and a lot of hard work, you are probably coming back. According to the FBI, two out of three released inmates are back in trouble within 3 years. These statistics shout an ironic truth - that it's easier to get out - than to stay out. So the question is, 'What can we do to insure we won't come back here again?' And the answer is, 'Planning.' We need a plan to change our lives. We can't expect a small change to give us the success we desire. It requires us to change almost every aspect of our past lives. We need to change the way we think, the way we act, the way we feel, the way we present ourselves, our priorities, our goals, our friends, maybe even our families – just about everything. If we are not ready to make major changes, if we are not ready to commit to giving this our best effort, then we should resign ourselves to a future of incarceration.
Download or read book The Love Prison Made and Unmade written by Ebony Roberts and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Notable Memoir by the New York Times Medium’s Books to Help You Transition Into 2020 With echoes of Just Mercy and An American Marriage, a remarkable memoir of a woman who falls in love with an incarcerated man—a poignant story of hope and disappointment that lays bare the toll prison takes not only on those behind bars, but on their families and relationships. Ebony’s parents were high school sweethearts and married young. By the time Ebony was born, the marriage was disintegrating. As a little girl she witnessed her parents’ brutal verbal and physical fights, fueled by her father’s alcoholism. Then her father tried to kill her mother. Those experiences drastically affected the way Ebony viewed love and set the pattern for her future romantic relationships. Despite being an educated and strong-minded woman determined not to repeat the mistakes of her parents—she would have a fairytale love—Ebony found herself drawn to bad-boys: men who cheated; men who verbally abused her; men who disappointed her. Fed up, she swore to wait for the partner God chose for her. Then she met Shaka Senghor. Though she felt an intense spiritual connection, Ebony struggled with the idea that this man behind bars for murder could be the good love God had for her. Through letters and visits, she and Shaka fell deeply in love. Once Shaka came home, Ebony thought the worst was behind them. But Shaka’s release was the beginning of the end. The Love Prison Made and Unmade is heartfelt. It reveals powerful lessons about love, sacrifice, courage, and forgiveness; of living your highest principles and learning not to judge someone by their worst acts. Ultimately, it is a stark reminder of the emotional cost of American justice on human lives—the partners, wives, children, and friends—beyond the prison walls.
Download or read book Prison to Prosperity written by Lynch Hunt and published by L&W Publications . This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You cannot escape from a prison, if you don’t know you’re in one. Most of us are imprisoned by something. We’re all living in darkness until something or someone flips on the switch. Possibly the biggest impediment to finding and living your purpose are the mental shackles that tie many people down. The mental shackles on Lynch Hunt’s mind were released the day physical shackles were put on him. Hunt was the former leader of a $8.3 million coke ring in Burlington County, New Jersey and landed himself in federal prison for 10 years. Ironically, it was inside the prison walls where he found his freedom. From Prison to Prosperity is not about Lynch Hunt going to prison, coming home and having success. It’s about leading people to freedom from physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual captivity no matter who you are or what environment you find yourself in.
