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.

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.

Employment

Transportation

Food, clothing, hygiene

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. And let me be the first to say, "Welcome home."
