MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW: Simply stated, “The Ex-Offender’s Re-Entry Success Guide: Smart Choices for Making It on the Outside” should be considered mandatory reading by anyone being released from incarceration. It should be a part of every jail and prison library, every community library, and every academic Penology collection. August, 2019.
The workbook that helps ex-offenders create a compelling purpose and powerful new habits for success!
#9947 Now in the fourth edition, this book addresses the major day-to-day challenges facing ex-offenders as they re-enter the Free World. While the re-entry process is fraught with challenges that can lead to rejections, disappointments, and recidivist temptations, this is also a time for self-renewal and transformation. There are silver linings here for those who see opportunities in adversity — a unique time for ex-offenders to put greater meaning and direction into their lives so they will never again waste their time and mind sitting in a prison, jail, or detention center.
Highlights of this self-directed book include:
- A comprehensive 149-item re-entry success assessment test
- Examples of ex-offenders making difficult choices
- Examination of ex-offender mindsets and how to change them
- Recommended resources to reinforce and expand learning
- Exercises for developing a purpose and legacy in life
- Daily action-planning exercises to implement the seven-step process for re-entry
- A planning journal for keeping critical re-entry activities on track
- Forms to help organize a budget and use community support systems
- Powerful quotes for guiding one’s life
- A downloadable Instructor’s Guide for training purposes
Designed in an interactive workbook format, this invaluable resource addresses everything from attitudes, motivation, and education to telling the truth, taking responsibility, building trust, seeking community-based assistance, leaving a legacy, and dealing with today’s digital world.
Addressing the whole re-entry process, this book is “must” reading for anyone preparing to re-enter the Free World. It’s also an ideal book for friends, loved ones, and supporters as well as those who are already on the outside but need better guidance on how they can jump-start their new life . . . and stay out for good!
