Abstrakt: The pre-release period for prison inmates involves a critical transition from institutional control to self-determination. Traditionally, pre-release programs have focused heavily on providing occupational information and instruction on rules and regulations associated with supervised release. Counseling interventions during pre-release can strengthen programs by assisting inmates in fostering self-esteem and autonomy, improving interpersonal relationships, practicing communication skills, and taking responsibility for choices. The purpose of this article is to provide a rationale for a more humanistic approach to pre-release programming involving a two-tiered-educational and counseling-program for prison inmates.
