Having a job lined off is sometimes a condition for release. It's certainly preferable for someone to have employment waiting. That's why we post free employment reintegration profiles: writeaprisoner.com/inmate-employm… Thanks to everyone who reviews these and sends job information!

Finding a place to live when released can be challenging. This is the purpose of our free reintegration housing profiles: writeaprisoner.com/inmate-housing… Inmates post WHEN they're being released and WHERE they want to live. People on the outside share information.
