Inmates across the country look forward to their release day. For many it’s been a long time. Some have served 30, 40 or even 50 years in Prison. The world has changed in so many ways, but they look forward to release day regardless of these changes. So many different emotions, from happiness to excitement, to some anxiety, and joy, They have waited on this day. But to think that the process of integrating back into society will be smooth sailing is naive. There are major problems ex-inmates face as they seek to rebuild their lives. This is particularly true of parolees that served a very long prison sentence. Today we invite you to join us in our series entitled “Transition” Throughout our series we will explore four challenges to prisoner reentry and potential solutions to each problem through the eyes of those who live this situation.
