99 Days and A Get Up is a powerful guide to successful social and emotional transition from prison into the community.  This candid handbook leads offenders and their loved ones through the turbulent period before and after release, helping establish a sense of perspective and control, thus reducing stress, fear, and "short pains."  99 Days gives honest, direct advice for dealing with the major barriers ex-offenders must overcome to achieve long-term success.                                                  

Recently, OPEN, Inc. introduced the 99 Days and A Get Up Training Program, based up on the handbook of the same name.  The 48 contact hour training program is designed to teach the client how to make the necessary changes to first survive in the community, secondly adapt to it, and finally integrate into it. 

The training program is designed to teach the practical and psycho-social skills needed by people who are about to exit a prison culture and take on the demands of community life. The program provides a reference framework that will allow the participant to successfully manage the myriad situations that he or she will encounter upon reentry into modern society.
