With the exact experiential knowledge, know-how, and knack that helped make thousands of federal returning citizens reentry ready instead of recidivism ready, Cedric Dean demonstrates how The Seven Keys to Character Building he exercised in the Federal Bureau of Prison can be used to rehabilitate, reintegrate, and resource returning citizens. As Dean says, "Character education is the solution to mass incarceration." Dean explains that returning citizens need to be rehabilitated with the 7 keys to character building and reintegrated with wraparound resources. Sharing firsthand knowledge, often raw and real experiences from his own life and from the lives of other returning citizens, he imparts invaluable advice on how to become an upstanding member of society. He shows how returning citizens can learn to incorporate keys into their daily lives through continual character building to create a morality-centered lifestyle. The Seven Keys to Character Building is arguably the preeminent work on rehabilitating, reintegrating, and resourcing returning citizens.
