Here's something useful: the new book "Beyond Bars: Rejoining Society After Prison," by two criminology profs, Ian Ross and Stephen Richards. The book is intended as a nuts-and-bolts survival guide for people getting released from prison.
However, it's filled with useful stuff for almost anyone who has gone through the criminal justice system, whether coming out of lock-up or coming off of deferred adjudication probation. Topics include how to seal (or deal with) criminal records, how to handle employers and job interviews, getting drug and alcohol treatment, how to approach relatives and friends, as well as lists of free resources. As you probably know if you've been through the system, the real "punishment" often starts after the court-ordered punishment is finished -- getting rejected for jobs, places to live, educational opportunities, etc. This is a valuable resource for anyone trying to cope with the aftermath of a criminal case. It's available at Amazon.com. Check it out.
