What to do?

What is the first thing that an ex-felon should do once he or she is released from prison? Many times doors are closed, options are limited. What is the best way for an ex-felon to re-integrate back into the fold of society?

Some states offer help, others don't. The objective for all should be to lower the rate of recidivism for ex-offenders. To give them a hand up, not a hand out.

I am just starting this blog to try and find some answers as the population of our prisons is at an all time high and we need to find ways to help offenders getting out of prisons and ways to help support the families of those who are behind bars.

Most prisons are all about warehousing and do nothing about rehabilitation. Then upon release have no resources available to help with re-integration back into the community.
Any wonder why the return rate is so high?
