Checkmate for the Inmate

Reentry calls for incredible resilience, determination, and a strong support system. For those looking to rebuild their lives, this journey often involves a significant change in perspective, restoring trust with authorities, communities, and families, and seeking a renewed sense of purpose. Wendy Oliveras has crafted a valuable and practical guide in Checkmate for the Inmate: From Bars to Business. Her book offers a framework for tackling these challenges, leveraging her ten years of experience teaching life skills and entrepreneurship to incarcerated individuals, which shaped her understanding of effective strategies for promoting personal growth, resilience, and reintegration.
