Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unshackled Potential: Unlocking Potential Behind Bars—A Pathway to Prosperity Beyond Prison" is a groundbreaking guide that serves as a beacon of hope for those incarcerated and their loved ones. This book is a comprehensive manual designed to empower inmates with the knowledge and strategies necessary to rise above their circumstances, reorient their outlook, and prepare for a prosperous life post-incarceration. The transformative journey starts from within the prison walls. This book challenges the notion that prison is solely a punishment, instead presenting it as an opportunity for self-improvement, growth, and positive change. With a blend of practical advice and psychological insight, the book tackles real issues such as navigating prison life, overcoming negative influences, managing self-defeating thoughts, and cultivating a mindset of resilience and optimism. The guide also explores powerful tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for self-improvement and offers coping mechanisms to handle the anxiety, guilt, fear, and pessimism that can pervade prison life. It emphasizes the importance of discipline, self-control, and nonviolent communication in personal transformation. It further prepares the reader for life beyond the prison walls, with chapters dedicated to goal setting, beating recidivism, redefining identity, and job hunting after release. Inmates will learn how to navigate society, start a service business, and develop financial literacy— essential skills for reintegrating into the community successfully. To ensure a holistic approach, the book underscores the significance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, continuing education, joining support groups, volunteering in the community, and securing stable housing post-incarceration. It empowers the inmate to transform from being a prisoner to a change agent, advocating for systemic reforms and societal acceptance. "Unshackled Potential" is more than just a book; it is a roadmap to personal reinvention. This resource is not just for inmates; it is equally insightful for their families and friends who wish to understand and support their loved ones during this challenging journey. This is a testament to the enduring human spirit that, even when shackled, can find the strength to unlock its potential and soar toward a prosperous future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Governor General’s Award winning author of Forms of Devotion, Our Lady of the Lost and Found and By the Book “Never once in my life had I dreamed of being in bed with a convicted killer.” For almost six turbulent years, award-winning writer Diane Schoemperlen was involved with a prison inmate serving a life sentence for second-degree murder. The relationship surprised no one more than her. How do you fall in love with a man with a violent past? How do you date someone who is in prison? This Is Not My Life is the story of the romance between Diane and Shane—how they met and fell in love, how they navigated passes and parole and the obstacles facing a long-term prisoner attempting to return to society, and how, eventually, things fell apart. While no relationship takes place in a vacuum, this is never more true than when that relationship is with a federal inmate. In this candid, often wry, sometimes disturbing memoir, Schoemperlen takes us inside this complex and difficult relationship as she journeys through the prison system with Shane. Not only did this relationship enlarge her capacity for both empathy and compassion, but it also forced her to more deeply examine herself.

Download or read book Learning behind Bars written by Deiter Reinisch and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning behind Bars is an oral history of former Irish republican prisoners in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland between 1971, the year internment was introduced, and 2000, when the high-security Long Kesh Detention Centre/HM Prison Maze closed. Dieter Reinisch outlines the role of politically motivated prisoners in ending armed conflicts as well as the personal and political development of these radical activists during their imprisonment. Based on extensive life-story interviews with Irish Republican Army (IRA) ex-prisoners, the book examines how political prisoners developed their intellectual positions through the interplay of political education and resistance. It sheds light on how prisoners used this experience to initiate the debates that eventually led to acceptance of the peace process in Northern Ireland. Politically relevant and instructive, Learning behind Bars illuminates the value of education, politics, and resistance in the harshest of social environments.

Download or read book Education Based Incarceration and Recidivism written by Anthony H. Normore and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education-Based Incarceration and Recidivism: The Ultimate Social Justice Crime Fighting Tool takes a penetrating look at the needs and challenges of society's disenfranchised jail populations. It is incumbent to encourage public awareness of the causes that underlie the destructive cycles plaguing these populations, including the abuse and neglect that cycle through generations. When effectively addressed through education the economic burden on society is lightened and an advocacy to increase understanding engenders a humane response. When connecting education-based incarceration to leadership and social justice, several issues come to mind, beginning with the universal understanding that definitions of social justice are based on a variety of factors, like political orientation, religious background, and political and social philosophy. An increased body of researchers in educational leadership, ethics, law, sociology, corrections, law enforcement, criminal justice, and public health agree that social justice is concerned with equal justice, not just in the courts, but in all aspects of society. Social justice demands that people promote a just society where people have equal rights and opportunities; everyone, from the poorest person on the margins of society to the wealthiest deserves an even playing field. The intended audience for this book includes academics, national and international law enforcement agencies, and correctional institutions interested in establishing and assessing the effectiveness of an education-based incarceration program. This book can be used by educators and students interested in studying organizational leadership, correctional theory, recidivism, social and restorative justice, and education-based incarceration.
Download or read book Doing Time Together written by Megan Comfort and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By quadrupling the number of people behind bars in two decades, the United States has become the world leader in incarceration. Much has been written on the men who make up the vast majority of the nation’s two million inmates. But what of the women they leave behind? Doing Time Together vividly details the ways that prisons shape and infiltrate the lives of women with husbands, fiancés, and boyfriends on the inside. Megan Comfort spent years getting to know women visiting men at San Quentin State Prison, observing how their romantic relationships drew them into contact with the penitentiary. Tangling with the prison’s intrusive scrutiny and rigid rules turns these women into “quasi-inmates,” eroding the boundary between home and prison and altering their sense of intimacy, love, and justice. Yet Comfort also finds that with social welfare weakened, prisons are the most powerful public institutions available to women struggling to overcome untreated social ills and sustain relationships with marginalized men. As a result, they express great ambivalence about the prison and the control it exerts over their daily lives. An illuminating analysis of women caught in the shadow of America’s massive prison system, Comfort’s book will be essential for anyone concerned with the consequences of our punitive culture.
