About the Book
More than one in 100 adults in the United States is in jail or prison. With more than 2.3 million people behind bars, the United States leads the world in both the number and percentage of residents it incarcerates. The growth in prison population is largely the result of repeated offenders - who make up about half of the incarcerated population. Experts contribute the growing number of repeated offenders to emotional difficulties an offender faces upon release. This remarkably useful and complete workbook helps prisoners heal the emotional scars that might have developed while incarcerated. It provides:
-How to let go of emotional baggage
-How to diffuse an emotional situation
-Overcoming painful experiences caused by a life of incarceration
-How to emotionally cope with life's pressures
-And much more
Featuring a wealth of practical, self paced, interactive tools for the individual and support group, including questions, answers and evaluation sheets that help prisoners evaluate the progress they have made. Emotional Rehabilitation: An Inmate Guide to Emotional Healing is a step by step workbook crucial to helping prisoners restore emotional stability prior to their release.
