Prisoner Re-entry

Greetings my fellow Felons: 

PAD is interested in getting to know how you survived your experience of incarceration.  We would like to have you share with the PAD community the lessons learned and how you learned them during your incarceration. 

Next we would like to know how you used what you learned to reach your goals upon your release.  We believe there are no hopeless situations, however, some people lose hope in the face of some obstacles.   You certainly haven’t or you wouldn’t have survived to tell your story.  

It is my goal to show the public that certain felons are capable of overcoming obstacles and they used their lessons learned, along with tenacity, to succeed when nearly everyone else had given up on them.   

This will be an example of felons helping felons by sharing their story and showing others how they have overcome what appeared to be a negative situation.   This is an opportunity for those of us labeled a felon to change the public perception and hopefully we can remove the universal belief that all felons are untrustworthy. I have personally met many individuals who are now labeled a felon because they made some bad choices.  Many who are not felons admit they just weren’t caught.

We can eventually have my web site visitors vote to select a winner of the Monthly or Yearly Reentry Award. 

Please follow the directions and  keep your story to less than a page.     Come back here soon to find the link to send in your story. Our goal is to have that link operating by March 15. In the meantime, think about your story. You can help improve the lives of others as your own life and attitude improves.

Waiting to hear your story of success - just click the link below and send it to me.
