Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector.; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 160 pages; "In 1962, the first St. Leonard's Half-way home opened its doors in Windsor to welcome men who had spent time behind bars and needed a secure haven to make a clean start. A practical and determined Anglican priest by the name of Thomas Neil Libby saw the need for a re-entry residence that would help the ex-convict navigate the passage from incarceration to freedom making it easier for himself and safer for the community. Libby was struck by the profound tragedy of the ex-offender. Soon after leaving prison most would backslide into their former ways and associations. It was a time when as many as 80% of those completing prison terms found themselves once again standing in front of judges facing new charges." Libby worked with other organizations to promote the halfway house system.
