Publisher's Synopsis
This work offers seasoned re-entry employment advice for those with red flags in their backgrounds, including felony convictions. Without a decent job and support network to meet basic food, housing, transportation, and health care needs, and often saddled with onerous court-mandated financial obligations, many ex-offenders soon revert to old dysfunctional habits, relationships, and temptations that lead nearly 70 percent back to prisons and jails within three years of release. The book provides frank answers to many important re-entry questions facing ex-offenders.
