Book excerpt: Finding a job is one of the most important challenges facing the more than 650,000 ex-offenders who leave state and federal prisons as well as the more than 10 million individuals who are processed through jails and detention centres each year. Without a job and support network to help meet the immediate needs of food, housing, health care, and transportation, and often saddled with financial obligations, many ex-offenders soon fall back on old habits, relationships, and temptations that lead them back to jail and prison doors. While many employers may not want to hire someone with a criminal record, others are willing to give ex-offenders a second chance. Indeed, we live in a society that both admires and supports people who can pick themselves up, change their lives, and go on to achieve their dreams.
