Step 01:

The first thing to do is take time to reflect on your past mistakes and consequences. Do not repeat the mistakes you made in the past. Understand what led you going to prison and acknowledge areas for personal growth. Make positive goals for what you want to achieve down the road in the near future.

Step 02:

These goals can include finding a job, rebuilding relationships, and pursuing college. Surround yourself with supportive family members or friends who believe in your ability to change and succeed. Look for jobs that match what you’re good at and what you like to do, and that offer steady work. If you have difficulty finding a job, there are resources on our site you can look into.

Step 03:

Whether or not you’ve found a job yet, try to distance yourself from people or environments that may lead to relapse or from people who are harassing you. If someone is harassing you, you may have an urge to verbally attack back, but we advise against it. Speaking up can sometimes escalate the situation, and we don’t want that. Your freedom is more important than a random stranger who wants to see you fail, so don’t allow them or anyone to steal your potential and joy.
