Hello all,

This week we are discussing the difficulties people face in reintegrating into society after incarceration, a situation which impacts every aspect of their lives, including mental health.

How does it feel to reenter the world with a felony charge on your back and a parole officer watching your every move?  Ever been asked on an employment questionnaire whether you have a criminal record? What happens if you say “yes”?

Watch this video describing the challenges imposed on people who are leaving prison.

Warmup: What is one object you own that you should give away or discard, but probably never will?
