Publisher's Synopsis
Many friends and family of people who have been incarcerated miss their loved ones and wish they could do more than visit once every now and then. Some wonder if their loved one will be released only to be jailed again, some children miss their imprisoned parents. This notebook is designed to be given to inmates to write their thoughts and feelings so they can read them later in life, write letters to their children, parents, family and loved ones. Write their plans, dreams or visions about the future, and prepare them to rejoin society no matter how much time they have spent while away.
INSTRUCTIONS you can give to your incarcerated loved one: Behind bars? What's next? Reconnect with yourself and your loved ones through journaling. Journal about your dreams, your vision, future plans, letters to children, friends, and family, and anything you want to say to yourself or your loved ones. You can write poetry, songs, and random thoughts. Anything!
Whether your loved one is behind bars because of addiction or anxiety related disorders, or they were wrongly imprisoned altogether, you can help them to stay in touch with themselves and others outside the confinement of the walls, by writing and journaling. Dissociative disorders together with Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) and other depressive and manic disorders can be avoided simply by staying connected and bonding to others in a nonjudgmental relationship. Using this writing journal can be a form of personal cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
IMPORTANT: Some key things about sending books to friends and family behind bars...
If you order this book and send it to yourself, then send it to them yourself in a box, they will most likely be rejected for security reasons. It is highly recommended that you order and send directly from a publisher or seller like amazon, and that you do not send more than three books in one shipping. Ordering books for an inmate through an online retailer is easy, you just have to make sure that you select ship by USPS and that you ship it to the inmate's mailing address. Put the inmate's first name and last name followed by the inmate's ID number in the name line of the shipping address (John Doe, 12345). Next line put the facility name and then the address, so if I were sending an inmate items to Ulster Correctional Facility it would look like this:
Frank Doe, 12345
The Name of Correctional Facility
P.O. Box 600
Napanoch, New York 17478-0890
