The Correctional Association of New York’s Women in Prison Project has posted, My Sister’s Keeper: A Book for Women Returning Home from Prison or Jail, which was created by the Coalition for Women Prisoners' Reentry Committee. This book contains some honest, from the heart, advise by ex-offenders about how to survive and thrive after being released from an institution. For those of you working in jails, their struggles will affirm much of what you already know and may even help shape some of your reentry programs and policies.
