Back in the World

It's a fact: Most incarcerated individuals serve their time and return to the real world. But as inmates count down the days and months to release, their anticipation runs the gamut from excitement about freedom to apprehension about making a new start.

This special three-DVD series was years in the making. Why? Because inmates have unique challenges—both obstacles AND opportunities—to make a good transition from prison to civilian life. The solid advice offered in these videos is drawn from numerous interviews with inmates near their release dates and with their counselors and instructors. Their words offer practical tips and inspiration for ex-offenders to embrace—and succeed with—their new lease on life.
