The title of this work "The SON'S City Reentry Management Systems" is the result of viewing it as a lighted path for those who have been subjected to darkness in their life due to addiction to alcohol and other drugs and have been victims of frequent trips to penal institutions and constant use and abuse of said substances. The word SON'S refers to the Lord. The balance of the title is indicative of the knowledge that Jesus loved the city and that much of His ministry was founded there according to this author. The play on words SON'S versus sun's is to infer that the light produced by the sun is not comparable to the light induced in each of us by the Light of our life. This light is on the path that can lead one to successfully entering a life void of the pitfalls of those that keep one in the revolving door in and out of both addictions to drugs and prison.
