George Constantine Tannous, PhD, former Chairperson of the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) Tutor’s Committee within the Federal Bureau of Prisons, announces the release of his new book, “Inmate’s Handbook: Crime Reduction Project.” The 488-page book offers a comprehensive approach designed to help incarcerated individuals develop a healthier mindset, reduce the likelihood of reoffending, and successfully transition back into society. Its core principle is that no inmate should be released without first completing a thorough study of the material, which focuses on the transformative power of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The new handbook emerges amid a pressing national conversation about recidivism, a longstanding challenge in the United States. Studies indicate that as many as 82% of individuals released from state prisons are rearrested within ten years, 43% within one year! By incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy - an established treatment that teaches individuals to recognize and adjust their thoughts and emotions contributing to harmful behaviors - Tannous’s work offers a well-rounded educational tool intended to help break the cycle of re-offense.
The “Inmate’s Handbook: Crime Reduction Project” is now available for purchase on Amazon. Tannous strongly advocates that every inmate, whether in state, federal, or county facilities, completes the entire handbook prior to release. He envisions institutions worldwide adopting its principles, ensuring that incarcerated individuals understand how to avoid relapse into criminal conduct. The author, drawing from his firsthand experience as a former Chairperson of the RDAP Tutor’s Committee, provides guidance that aligns with evidence-based practices shown to foster personal growth and improved decision-making skills.
Central to Tannous’s mission is the idea that every purchased copy of the handbook, another will be shipped to an inmate at no additional cost, funding permitted. After reading the book, readers are encouraged to follow Tannous’s guidance and send it to an inmate who can benefit from its lessons. Upon release from prison, individuals can visit https://CrimeReductionProject.com to submit their answered questions and essays, paving the way to become a Certified Better Us Coach.
This certification can empower formerly incarcerated individuals to positively influence marriages, child development, and overall community well-being by applying the concepts learned through the book.
“We believe that change begins with understanding and a willingness to rewrite one’s personal narrative,” commented George Constantine Tannous, PhD. “By equipping inmates with the right tools, education, and mindset, we can reduce recidivism rates and create healthier communities.”
