the long version

Designed to assist ex-offenders and re-entry professionals with critical transition decisions, this directory introduces users to a fascinating re-entry world focused on documentation, housing, employment, transportation, food, clothing, wellness, mental health, substance abuse, education, parenting, and personal finances. Filled with names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, and downloadable resources of key government agencies, nonprofit groups, and faith-based organizations, this is a "must have" directory for anyone involved with re-entry programs and resources as well as for those interested in developing their own "what works" programs. Special features include: 39 gateway re-entry websites, 1,000+ state re-entry assistance programs, and 50 free downloadable re-entry handbooks and curricula. A rich collection of six appendices includes an assessment test and several planning/implementation devises.
