BALTIMORE, MD - Edward R. Williams, Author, of best-selling books Wealth Building For Beginners and Ten Steps to Wealth, will be holding a wealth-building workshop for those exiting the prison system to give back to the community.
People released from prison remain largely uneducated most often and their family support system is not a fallback option. One of the many challenges faced by men and women returning to society after being jailed is their unfamiliarity with the many financial tools and wealth building concepts that are available. Simple things like opening a banking account, using a credit card, or saving money can be overwhelming and intimidating when starting out after being incarcerated.
Author of the best-selling book, Wealth Building For Beginners, Edward R. Williams, hopes to educate and inspire those who are exiting the prison system for a better life for themselves and their families. Recent estimates show that 2.7 million US children have a parent who is incarcerated and more than 5 million children—7 percent of all US children—have had a parent in prison or jail at some point. (Hairston 2007) Their numbers swelled by 79 percent between 1991 and 2007, according to U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) figures, largely driven by tough drug laws and mandatory sentencing. So, not only will the financial education help those exiting the prison system, but it will help the many children who have parents who have had to start over after being jailed for so long.
Attendees will learn where to start and how to navigate the complex world of building wealth. The challenge is to channel any negative addictions and bad habits and turn them into positive addictions and good sustainable habits that bring them wealth beyond just monetary wealth, but also spiritually and intellectually with a stronger sense of purpose. They will also get access to Author/Financial Planner, Edward R. William's growing library of online wealth resources.
