Starting a new life after prison can be difficult; the challenges can seem insurmountable. Whether it's finding a job, a place to live, figuring out how to be in a relationship, or breaking down those mental and emotional walls we built to survive in there, it can feel overwhelming. The odds are not in our favor. Handcuffed to Freedom aims to help people not only overcome those challenges, but create lives full of rich relationships, meaningful pursuits and purpose. We create resources for people who have been released from prison, their family members, and anyone who believes in second chances. It's what to expect, practical advice, motivation, inspiration and hope for the future. This is not your run-of-the-mill 'state sponsored' reentry resource. This is created by people who have been through experience, overcome the challenges and found success. Now we want to pass on what we learned.Copyright 2020 All rights reserved.

    Prison Values - Hurt people hurt people

    "Shame and guilt force us to push people away and isolate, vulnerability begs for us to connect." 

     

    Thanks to Grace Gamez for the wisdom and summing up the problem with those four simple words, "hurt people hurt people."

     

    And Erec Toso, the legend himself, thanks for spending your Saturdays with us knuckleheads.

  • 7 Tips for finding a place to rent with a felony record

    7 Tips for finding a place to rent with a felony record
    Aug 25 2021

    Let’s face it: finding a place to rent when you have a felony record is difficult *understatement* and often discouraging.

     

    Here are a few tips to help you navigate the process and find a place that you can call home.

     

    1. Be upfront about your past
    2. Write a letter explaining situation
    3. Talk to someone before submitting rental application
    4. If possible speak to the homeowner, and if not then speak to the property manager.
    5. Avoid HOA’s (because they suck)
    6. Save up 3 months of rent
    7. Reach out to your network
