Every year, thousands of prisoners get released from jails and prisons into halfway houses, with a large percentage of them being sent back to lockup for violating rules or procedures. Halfway houses are an extremely important component to successful reentry into society for ex-prisoners, and it does a great disservice not only to the individuals being sent back but to society as a whole whenever this occurs, regardless of the reasons why it occurs, since those prisoners will still be released within a short time period anyway but without the crucial preparatory advantages that halfway houses provide. Being sent back to lockup after being at a halfway house can be a very devastating experience for prisoners and their loved ones. This to-the-point guide was written by an ex-prisoner who served years in prison and was released to a halfway house and made it through successfully, going on to become a very accomplished entrepreneur and businessman. It provides much-needed inside info to halfway house pre-residents and residents on how to not only make it through the halfway house successfully, but also how to utilize the time spent there in the best, most productive ways possible. With being released from lockup as soon as possible and never going back as the ultimate goals, this succinct little guidebook, which is small and compact enough to be carried around in a pocket as a daily reminder, is a tremendous asset to halfway house pre-residents and residents. It is a necessary, wisdom-packed literary tool for successful independent living for those who have been incarcerated. The info within this guide, if utilized, will greatly assist in the general maintaining of ex-prisoners' freedom.

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

One of the Vera Institute of Justice’s Best Criminal Justice Books of 2019 America’s high incarceration rates are a well-known facet of contemporary political conversations. Mentioned far less often is what happens to the nearly 700,000 former prisoners who rejoin society each year. On the Outside examines the lives of twenty-two people—varied in race and gender but united by their time in the criminal justice system—as they pass out of the prison gates and back into the world. The book takes a clear-eyed look at the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated citizens as they try to find work, housing, and stable communities. Standing alongside these individual portraits is a quantitative study conducted by the authors that followed every state prisoner in Michigan who was released on parole in 2003 (roughly 11,000 individuals) for the next seven years, providing a comprehensive view of their postprison neighborhoods, families, employment, and contact with the parole system. On the Outside delivers a powerful combination of hard data and personal narrative that shows why our country continues to struggle with the social and economic reintegration of the formerly incarcerated.

From the Publisher: There are two types of barriers that can hinder an excon's successful re-entry into society. There are those created by public policy and public attitude. However, in too many cases, there are also those barriers he creates for himself by lacking a plan, the right attitude, or the personal commitment to see it through. "How to Do Good After Prison" is a practical guide of advice, insight, and motivation to help ex-prisoners overcome the barriers and succeed after prison.
