Publisher's Summary
The Ex-Con Factor: You Did Your Time, Now What? Journey from D.O.C. to C.E.O. is a common sense map about the transition and mind-sets of ex-offenders. Deals with choices made before and after doing time from juvenile detention, jail, prison, and work release to returning back to society. Details the author's experiences and observations living a fast-paced life that included dealing drugs, generations of domestic violence, her survival story, and mind-set shifts along the way. Coming to the end of a sentence and not knowing how to survive and be successful on the other side of the gates brings ex-offenders back through the doors of recidivism with no end in sight. Difficulty finding jobs makes it easy if not necessary for ex-offenders to go back to what they know, which is illegal activity.
Threatened with probation or parole violations, some people don't see any other way out. This book stresses that yes, there s an ex-con factor, but there are no excuses. Reentry to society without a real plan can prove to be detrimental to someone's freedom. This book proves it is possible to define and or redefine your own success and remain a free, productive, and successful member of society. Prison doesn't rehabilitate you. You rehabilitate you. The choices you make can either be constructive or destructive - anything else is an excuse. The author understands the judgment and difficulties associated with the stigma of being an ex-felon. However, where there's a will there's a way for jobs, housing, entrepreneurship, marriage, finances, home ownership, excellent credit, and more...even for an ex-felon.
