13: Review research assignment question

Based on the research that I have done so far on the challenges faced by prisoners being released into society, I have found that most of the questions for the presentation can be answered. Although, I have yet to find an organization that educates people about my human population. I have found out what challenges there are but I can't seem to find many programs that help those being released or even help their families prepare for their return. I especially haven't found anything educating the public about the return of prisoners to society. In the article that I have found, there were some interesting viewpoints from people that have worked with the newly released and I can understand what challenges they are facing. I do find it quite interesting that there are so many people in prison that will one day be set free and there aren't programs for them to help them prepare for their release. The prisons seems to provide "programs" but who is to say that they are worth anything, especially when CA is letting thousands of prisons free because of overcrowding.

Something to still find out... now that I know their challenges, how can these people be helped back into society so they can stay a part of society rather than a statistic.

As Professor Wexelbaum mentioned in an earlier post of mine, maybe I'll get more answer from a government search but I don't know how true things will be. Not sure I totally trust what the government has to say, guess I'm one of "those" people who thinks the government may be a bit corrupt. But that's a whole other topic.
