In his book, “Making a Living in Prison,” author Victor J. Merrick wrote: “In every sector of American life, it has been found that prisons are not a solution to social problems. In the public sector, such constraints on social expression are especially unacceptable because they come at a time when prison officials are urged to reduce prison populations and reduce government costs by focusing on safety and security instead of incarceration.”

The reality is that the real estate market has created an extreme crisis and unemployment, particularly for young people, is creating a shortage of housing, which in turn is squeezing out more families. Consequently, real estate agents are beginning to notice more people who have served time in prison and who are now living in the neighborhood of the home that was purchased through a real estate investment.

Perhaps, you know someone who has served time in prison and you want to help them get back on their feet but you are not sure what to do with them. Maybe your cousin or a friend of yours is homeless and you want to do something to help that situation.

If so, then you need to find out how to get in touch with family members and friends who have served time in prison and are now living in the neighborhood. There are many options to help them if you know where to look.

One option is to use a network of former prisoners who are now working in the real estate industry. This group of people can offer valuable information on various real estate areas of the country.

Another option is to find out about ex-prisoners who have achieved success in their chosen career. One way to get the information you need is to ask a local business who is looking for people to train their employees on real estate. Many of these businesses will offer you education benefits if you agree to help them with a project. If you need help with getting your ex-prisoner to answer questions about real estate in the area where he or she lives, then you may be able to find out who their realtor is by asking if the business has one.

In many cases, the best option for getting the ex-offender to answer questions about real estate is to enroll in a facility that offers classes in the rehabilitation of crime. Some rehabilitation centers allow the former prisoners to have online or telephone chat sessions with counselors to discuss their life after serving their time.

You can find information about some of these programs online and this can be helpful to get ideas of the types of classes you may take or how to locate a local center to visit. Sometimes, even the best and most current information on the internet can’t be very helpful if you don’t find out where to visit to speak with the ex-offender.

One way to do this is to search for web sites that provide contact information for former inmates and connect with them. While this can be helpful in getting information about what you are searching for, it may not always yield the results you are looking for.

Sometimes, you just need to check out the rehab centers near where you live and take a tour of the facilities that you feel are the best. Make sure that you are going to be comfortable and informed when you visit.

Once you start visiting the rehab centers near you, you will see that there are people who were once criminals who now have become leaders in their field and are helping to shape the real estate industry. Visit with these people today and find out how you can help them.
