About the Book

Surviving Day One is the hardest part. This book makes sure you don't have to do it alone.

After decades navigating 17 state and federal prisons, Michael Bernard Dorsey, Jr. delivers a real-world survival guide for returning citizens in Washington, DC - written by someone who actually lived it.

This is not theory. This is what works.

Inside this book, you will learn how to:
- Get a free phone, food, clothing, and healthcare immediately after release
- Find jobs that hire people with a record - and how to get hired
- Navigate probation and supervision without getting violated
- Apply for benefits the right way - the first time
- Access real drug treatment programs that help you stay clean
- Understand your legal rights that most returning citizens don't even know they have

This guide also includes a powerful DC resource directory with insider information, trusted locations, and real support systems - the kind you only learn from experience.

Whether you are returning home, supporting someone who is, or working in reentry services - this book is a tool for survival, stability, and success.

Second chances are real - but only if you know how to move.
