520    "95 percent of the men and women who go to prison are 
       eventually released. But then what? A gripping work of 
       immersion reporting for readers of Evicted and Maid, Free 
       shines a spotlight on the rollercoaster of re-entry: the 
       exuberance of freedom, the rules and regulations that make
       you feel like you're still in prison, the often 
       dispiriting work of looking for employment and housing, 
       and more. Veteran reporter Lauren Kessler follows six 
       individuals whose diverse stories paint a portrait of the 
       search for redemption that many former inmates face as 
       they fight to rebuild their lives"--|cProvided by
