Oh my, you would like to THINK so, wouldn't you, but most states have very bare-boned systems in place for released prisoners. Also, I had to leave South Carolina to return to VA since I (literally) had no place to go in SC! Now, IF I had stayed in SC, I could have gone to Vocational Rehab for some nominal items like $25 vouchers for tools and clothing. Since I had drug convictions, I will never be eligible for food stamps or state assistance from SC (go figure!). LUCKILY, my one brother has let me come stay with him in VA, but I still feel like it is a burden to him. :(
