A Map Through the Maze:

A Guide to Surviving the Criminal Justice System (2nd Edition)

Ned Rollo with Louis W. Adams

The book every prisoner should receive
upon sentencing and lockdown!

inally, an innovative self-help book and program designed to reorient the mindsets
of newly arrived inmates whose survival depends on mentally transitioning to a
Fnew life without freedom. Indeed, prison can be a chilling and costly experience
punctuated with fear, distrust, fragile hope, boredom, grief, and depression. Unprepared
for what lies ahead, many new inmates face an incarceration maze that’s often filled
with endless barriers, deadly traps, and hopelessness. How can they best cope with life
in a cage and then successfully re-enter the free world after two, five, or ten+ years of
mind-numbing lockdown? And what about their families who also suffer in silence? If
you’re a correctional administrator, what can you do to make a new inmate’s transition
more positive and fulfilling while, at the same time, ensuring the safety and well-being
of everyone involved?
For most people, being imprisoned is not the end of the world. After all, nearly 95
percent of inmates will eventually be released into the free world. But first, they must
do some serious time and, hopefully, learn the many lessons outlined in this ground-
breaking self-help book for inmates and their families. Author Ned Rollo, who has
literally walked the walk and talked the talk, tells it like it is with a focus on preparing
inmates mentally for their upcoming correctional experience. Here, he offers an in-
depth mental and emotional roadmap running from the moment of felony conviction
through five years following release. Focusing on a dark and dysfunctional mindset that
needs to quickly change, this hopeful book stresses the importance of thinking outside
the prison cage where inmates will find a life of purpose, meaning, love, and beauty
that’s well worth living. #2884 July 2015
