| I’d especially like to hear from other former offenders
who’ve successfully turned their lives around. If that’s
you, please write and tell me something about yourself, the
good and the bad, past and present. Let me know how to contact
you, and tell me if I can share any of what you say, and
if
so, whether or not you want to remain anonymous. |
This I’ll do for free!
 I’ll be happy to give a lecture to any group of offenders,
either in or out of custody, time permitting, for expenses* only.
Why? I consider this an obligation.
My experience has been that active offenders pay special attention
to my suggestions, even when it’s something they’ve
heard before. If my talk inspires even one person to make that big
change, it’s worth it to me. Contact me, and let’s talk
it over.
I’m also available to speak to non-offender groups who would
like to learn more about this subject, again, time permitting. Arrangements
depend on the circumstances.
*What do I mean by “expenses”? This is something
I want to do, not something you have to bribe me to do. If the location is within 100 miles of one of my two homes (northwest suburbs of Chicago, and southwest Michigan) and I can go and come the same day, expenses would be zero.
By plane or
train, I’d take the cheapest reasonable choice. If I have
to stay overnight, a Red Roof Inn or equivalent would be just fine.
Under normal circumstances, I’ll pay for my own meals.

Going Straight: An ex-convict / psychologist
tells why and how.
Do you work, or plan to work, in prison education,
prisoner re-entry,
and criminal rehabilitation,
or with probationers and parolees? I think you’ll see that this
book could serve as a useful guide to respectability for them. Do you
have a friend or relative who’s involved in a criminal lifestyle,
perhaps in prison now or headed there in the future? Consider giving
that person a copy of this book. Do you want to understand everything
that a criminal lifestyle involves, and everything that complete criminal
rehabilitation entails? You’ll find this informative, and easy
to read.
You can learn more about it by going to The
Book page on this website. Or you can

 Need a speaker for an offender audience?
Or perhaps an audience interested in understanding more about them?
Visit the Contact page.
Offenders going through our re-entry training have consistently cited Dr. Fauteck as one of the most effective and credible speakers. We’ve gotten feedback like the following: “He’s been in our shoes...He gives me hope that it may be rough getting back on the streets, but we can succeed by focusing on the things we can do right...We need more people like him.”
