By Ned Rollo

This expanded third edition is the most widely used release preparation handbook in the nation - the book no inmate should leave prison without. A powerful guide to successful social and emotional transition from prison into the community, it uses a holistic approach that focuses on the key psycho-social adjustments required to make a successful transition from prison to the free world.

Candid but compassionate, this handbook leads offenders and their loved ones through the turbulent period before and after release, helping establish a sense of perspective and control, thus reducing stress and fear.

Individual sections address preparation for release, handling critical issues in the first few months -- including finances, employment, and rejection -- and re-building relationships with family and friends.

Revised and expanded to cover the last six months pre-release and the first six months post-release, the book gives honest, direct advice for dealing with the major barriers ex-offenders must overcome to achieve long-term success. 88 pages. 2005.
