This new student workbook uses the
problem solving method to assist students in the decision-making process on
reentry issues. The book takes
students through the problem solving process in six major domains.
Students will examine critical issues in their life circumstances in each
area and will develop action plans for problem resolution – starting with their
current situation of incarceration and transitioning to effective community
reentry.

meeting release requirements, using community resources
The workbook also
incorporates readings and reflection on the reentry domain.
There are optional readings from Dr. Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint’s
Come On, People: On the Path From
Victim to Victors text.
Cosby and Poussaint worked extensively with the Correctional Education
Association for distribution of the text in correctional institutions across the
nation. The text calls for a
re-thinking of the “victim mentality” and, together with the
Developing Problem-solving Strategies
for Successful Re-entry workbook, builds a powerful resource for moving
incarcerated students toward ownership of their reentry plans.
