Hi Mrs. G ... I don't know of any particular books out there ... I really wish I did :(
This is what we are hoping the thread [for now] will provide ... why we are asking questions of those who have been there done that ... if your husband has expressed any concerns about getting out please come to the thread "coming home ... now what?" and let us know what they are and perhaps some of the comments that we have already gotten will be of some help to you:)

the american correctional association has tons of books and videos about coming home and making it. go to their website at www.aca.org. i bought "99 days and a get up" by ned rollo (a guide to success following release for inmates and their loved ones), and "makin' it: a parole & probation survival guide" by errol craig sull from aca.
