It is difficult to come back from anything. Ten years ago, I helped some
relatives come back from heroin addiction. It took two and a half solid
years for them to be able to function independently and confidently.
During that time they always had a home (mine), and three meals a day,
and a safe place to be and come back to...and family around them.
I can't begin to imagine how someone can transition into normal life from prison without serious support.
