Summary Moving is considered one of the most stressful times in a person's life. Moving from prison back to life as a citizen adds a unique spin to the stress one experiences. Individuals exiting the correctional system are inconsistently prepared for re-entry. Many are disconnected from the reality of how to live and lack knowledge of what resources are available. A life of freedom is an achievement worth living for and requires a strong foundation to be built on. There are eight fundamental needs in order to survive life and have a shot at creating a life of freedom: housing; employment; transportation; food, clothing, hygiene; documentation; bank account; health care; support system. This book was written by a returning citizen for individuals preparing to be released from prison. However, this survival checklist is key for anyone going through a time of transition and change. These checklist items are the foundation for building a new life. Use this book as a resource to help you prepare to navigate and overcome the barriers and obstacles of re-entry--Back cover.
