From people who came through it
“I was in the same place nearly four years ago. For me it was a halfway house. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
Kumaran D. · been through life after prison“For anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Released in January after 6 years. That was my life. I laugh properly again. Be gentle with yourself.”
Travis S. · been through life after prison“A note for the next person. I was where you are this time last year. It was job applications and the box and I couldn't see past it. This year I did a 5k, slowly. One day at a time.”
