Re-Entry Curriculum Re-Entry Curriculum Student Handbook Dear Student, How many of us TRULY prepare for that big homecoming day? We’ve missed our family, we’ve missed the friends and the good food and fun. However, how many of us have actually taken the time to prepare for a successful re-entry? How many of us even think about that? The sad reality of it is that most of us really don’t. Most of us walk out without a resume, without social skills, without a foundation to build on or without the proper mind set to engage in a world that is not always willing to be so accepting or open to our backgrounds. I’m here to tell you, as a guy who served a sentence of more than 10 years, it is hard, without a doubt, hands down…it’s very hard. I discovered there are no free hand outs and believe me I received 20 no’s before I got ONE yes. This is the harsh reality you’re returning to and it doesn’t help to have a felony. With the cards already stacked against us, wouldn’t it make sense to come up with a game plan BEFORE you walk out? Having said all that, how do we set all this in motion? Personally, I had to ask the obvious questions: Was my life worth the investment? Did I believe my life was worth taking the last few months before release to pull away from the crowd and prison politics and actually work on ME? Looking back, I hadn’t realized how much time I wasted on absolutely nothing. Think about it! If you’re reading, what types of books are you reading? This is not to say you can’t have “leisure” time, but HOW much? And what do you do with the rest of your time? If you hang around with a crowd, is anyone in that group making you a better person? Going forward in life required that I take life seriously. Remember, every day is an opportunity to build on your life out here. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by. Take it from me; it’s easier to do the work inside than to wait until release. Prison is what you make of it; it can be an institution of confinement or an institution of preparation. There is no other time like right now…what type of prison do you live in? Before you answer that question take into consideration your family, your children, your victims, and your future. I did, and it has made all the difference.

He put his arm around his wife and pulled her close in anticipation of the doctor’s response. Dr. Miles Conley hated that question. He had been a doctor for over thirty years and, despite significant advancements in technology during that time, there were no definitive answers in medicine. So, he did what he always did in these cases—he told the truth.

  • Interview with Eric Caine
    Interview with Eric Caine [00:00:01] Eric Caine So they ran down the backstairs. I put a shirt on because I had no ​ ​ shirt on, to open the door. As I pushed the door, I heard my mother's voice screaming on the other side of door, begging me to open the door, because the police had threatened to knock it down. When I did, the door got bum rushed by two detectives. One I remember the name was Russell Wilson. He's the one that bum rushed the door, grabbed me by my collar then the waist of my pants. And the other detective, I remember his name was James Pienta. He didn't actually come in the house. But he was standing outside, right out the door. I had learned, I didn't know at the time, that my mother allegedly knew Russell Wilson, that she actually used to work for him. And I did not know that. [00:01:18] Eric Caine So when he grabbed me, say I was under arrest. It was all so blurry ​ ​ at the time. My mother come rushing in, begging him not to hurt me. I don't know why she thought they were going to hurt me, but she must've know something I didn't. So she was begging them not to hurt me and... asking them why they accusing me of stuff. What did I do? He said something to the effect that they were taking me down to the station. So she was trying to hand me some cigarets and they wouldn't let her.
