Very practical advice. I work with women in jail and aftercare in the Milwaukee area through the St. Vincent DePaul Jail Ministry. The ability of the ex-offender to find a job that will support them is so important and there are not enough community resources to help them succeed. Thank you for your interest in this topic. I will create a link to my blog so more people can benefit from it. Sincerely, Linda Pischke www.TheWomenOfBlock12.com Suzanne,
