Factors to Freedom
The Work of Fred (Uncle Freddy) McGee
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
I must admit that in 30 years of be on the Outs I have supported a good number of people in getting a job. From the process of finding out what their individual strengths were, to actually getting the interview, in each case it required that a Citizen has some initiative within them so they could draw from it. I refer to it as 'inner fight.' It's the ability to lend yourself what you need to get through a challenge. This is also known as being hungry.
Consistently offering your best while looking for a job requires determination. You will have to look at things inside yourself and ‘borrow’ from them. I looked at areas where I exhibited determination and decided to borrow from that determination when the process of looking for a job called for that.

About the Book
While some books focus on the outside world as a source of maintaining success, this book looks to achieve success from the inside out. The work we do is not readily seen on the outside, yet its value gets clearer as we move forward. Since we own the territory on the inside - our habits, attitudes, beliefs, feelings, conclusions, and expectations - there is where our work begins. This is an important piece neatly engineered into this book.”
This book becomes a kind of tool box, or ‘coach’ to help people who are returning to their communities. The book addresses the needs of people in the areas and issues surrounding freedom.
About the Author
Uncle Freddy McGee found himself in a maximum security prison for 10 years. He had seen how many individuals used the prison system as a revolving door; repeating offenses that would later cause them to return to being incarcerated. He saw that to have freedom and remain productive he would need to invest time in making deep changes in his life. Today Uncle Freddy is married, father of a step son and two daughters, and three grandchildren. For over 30 years he has been on teams that provide mitigation, scholarships for education, mentoring, and community awareness. He has many hours in various training formats and has worked with some of the finest in the criminal justice system.
