Same situation, it’s been a year now for me and I’m in my freshman year of online college, floundering it because it’s been so long since I actually did schoolwork/schooling of any type. This was the only way I was going to be able to stay afloat and keep my bills paid after reentry into the community from being incarcerated for six years. I love social services in tears and ended telephone calls with a sense of almost helplessness. Several times. It’s really bad how we are pushed out into the community from prison and told to get a job and be productive member of society, but are not offer any assistance if you don’t meet certain qualifications, none of what I mean, of course. anyway, just wanted to say I don’t give up. Nothing comes easy out here but I believe in you and the potential to surmount your past and transition into the better, stronger and wiser you!!
