The Re-Entry Start-Up Pocket Guide

The perfect pro-active re-entry guide designed for ex-offenders transitioning to the Free World. Designed to help them remain positive, focused, and entrepreneurial as they both map and navigate the often confusing and overlapping maze of re-entry programs and services available through a jungle of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and faith-based groups. Jam-packed with the author’s signature self-tests, checklists, and exercises, this pocket guide helps ex-offenders in any community make wise re-entry decisions about: documentation; housing; food; clothing; transportation; employment; health/wellness; mental health; substance abuse; recreation/leisure; mentoring; education; finance/banking; and veterans services. Includes special sections on using gateway re-entry resources, writing forgiveness letters, and inventorying “lessons learned.” Insightful, unconventional, and interactive, this is one of the most thoughtful street-level guides to making it on the outside. It may well become the ex-offenders best friend for surviving and thriving during the first 90 days after release! The perfect giveaway for all ex-offenders and their loved ones.
