Phase One — Pre-Entry Foundation · Module 7 of 24 · 90 minutes
Housing, transportation, employment, support networks, and first 90-day planning.
What you will be able to do
- Consolidate every prior module into one written release plan.
- Confirm housing, transportation, and a first move toward employment.
- Identify a support network for the first 90 days.
Why this matters
Everything in Phase One comes together here. A release plan turns six modules of preparation into a single, usable document you can hand to a case manager, a parole officer, or yourself on day one.
Reality check: People rarely fail reentry because they lacked information. They fail because the information never got organized into a plan they could actually follow under pressure. This module is where that changes.
Activity
Release Plan Build — using Appendix E (90-Day Success Plan), consolidate housing, transportation, employment first-step, financial plan, health plan, and support contacts into one document.
Scenario
Release day arrives and the plan that existed only in your head falls apart under real conditions — no ride, no clear address, no one expecting you. A written plan is the difference between a setback and a derailment.
What would you do first?
Reflection
- What part of your plan feels most solid? What part feels shakiest?
- What’s the very first thing you’ll do in your first hour out?
My action plan (pick at least one)
- Complete a written 90-day release plan covering housing, transportation, work, money, health, and support.
- Confirm your first 72 hours specifically — where, how, with whom.
- Share a copy of your plan with your case manager and one support contact.
