<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"4 simple suggestions in 4 short chapters that will help formerly incarcerated African-American men re-enter society"--Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The United States of America has more people behind bars than any other country in the world and every year nearly 700,000 prisoners get released back into society, the largest percentage of them being black males. "Getting Out & Staying Out" is a short, easy to read set of guidelines intended to help incarcerated and newly freed African-American men (a) learn how to most productively do their time while in prison (b) know what to expect once they are released (c) understand that entrepreneurship and self-employment is what their long-term focus should be on instead of a job, and (d) understand the importance of stable relationships and how they aid in successful re-entry. If followed, the advice and suggestions given in this very simple guide should prove very helpful for black men who are serious about getting out of prison and not ever going back.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book addresses issues that apply to ANYONE getting out of prison, not just males.
