[Book] Your Journey Beyond the Cell

Your Journey Beyond the Cell: Pre-Release Manual For People Incarcerated in New Jersey is unlike any other guide for people anticipating or going through the transition from a cell to life outside. Its authors call it a “collective memoir,” because it draws on the stories and advice of people who have gone through the process before and are still going through it. The result is both practical information and a chorus of supportive voices. They offer a preview of challenges along with lessons learned and do not underestimate the power of personal experiences and storytelling as one of life’s greatest resources. The acquired wisdom presented here is intended to inspire justice-impacted individuals to analyze, learn, try, strengthen, succeed, and reach back to help others.
