Download or read book Invisible Punishment written by Meda Chesney-Lind and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of newly commissioned essays from the leading scholars and advocates in criminal justice, Invisible Punishment explores, for the first time, the far-reaching consequences of our current criminal justice policies. Adopted as part of “get tough on crime” attitudes that prevailed in the 1980s and '90s, a range of strategies, from “three strikes” and “a war on drugs,” to mandatory sentencing and prison privatization, have resulted in the mass incarceration of American citizens, and have had enormous effects not just on wrong-doers, but on their families and the communities they come from. This book looks at the consequences of these policies twenty years later.

Book excerpt: Working as a Rapid-Rehousing case manager for the homeless, I realized that mostly my entire caseload consisted of men. These men all shared a commonality- they were all ex-offenders finding it almost impossible to find adequate housing, which led to their homelessness. Most of them worked making minimum wages and were striving to obtain efficient residency to maintain employment and avoid recidivism. One colossal obstacle faced by the ex-offenders was being able to connect with landlords, housing managers, and the like. As their case manager, I shared the impediments of finding businesses and/or landlords willing to rent to ex-offenders. I have gotten returned calls, but the moment the property managers, etc., hear the person interested was an ex-offender – access becomes denied. On the other hand, I have run into a few landlords and property managers who have no problem renting to ex-offenders under certain conditions in the lease. Working as a rapid rehousing case manager, trying to place my clients who are stigmatized within society was complex. I had thought to myself while browsing all sorts of websites for apartments, only if there were a specific website that caters to my population. Something a case manager, the clients who are ex-offenders, and even the landlords and property managers willing to accept ex-offenders can use as a resource - would be excellent.

Download or read book The Ex Prisoner s Dilemma written by Andrea M. Leverentz and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a woman leaves prison, she enters a world of competing messages and conflicting advice. Staff from prison, friends, family members, workers at halfway houses and treatment programs all have something to say about who she is, who she should be, and what she should do. The Ex-Prisoner’s Dilemma offers an in-depth, firsthand look at how the former prisoner manages messages about returning to the community. Over the course of a year, Andrea Leverentz conducted repeated interviews with forty-nine women as they adjusted to life outside of prison and worked to construct new ideas of themselves as former prisoners and as mothers, daughters, sisters, romantic partners, friends, students, and workers. Listening to these women, along with their family members, friends, and co-workers, Leverentz pieces together the narratives they have created to explain their past records and guide their future behavior. She traces where these narratives came from and how they were shaped by factors such as gender, race, maternal status, age, and experiences in prison, halfway houses, and twelve-step programs—factors that in turn shaped the women’s expectations for themselves, and others’ expectations of them. The women’s stories form a powerful picture of the complex, complicated human experience behind dry statistics and policy statements regarding prisoner reentry into society for women, how the experience is different for men and the influence society plays. With its unique view of how society’s mixed messages play out in ex-prisoners’ lived realities, The Ex-Prisoner’s Dilemma shows the complexity of these women’s experiences within the broad context of the war on drugs and mass incarceration in America. It offers invaluable lessons for helping such women successfully rejoin society.
Download or read book The Dedicated Ex Prisoner s Guide for Getting Through The Halfway House written by Richard Bovan and published by Full Surface Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, thousands of prisoners get released from jails and prisons into halfway houses, with a large percentage of them being sent back to lockup for violating rules or procedures. Halfway houses are an extremely important component to successful reentry into society for ex-prisoners, and it does a great disservice not only to the individuals being sent back but to society as a whole whenever this occurs, regardless of the reasons why it occurs, since those prisoners will still be released within a short time period anyway but without the crucial preparatory advantages that halfway houses provide. Being sent back to lockup after being at a halfway house can be a very devastating experience for prisoners and their loved ones. This to-the-point guide was written by an ex-prisoner who served years in prison and was released to a halfway house and made it through successfully, going on to become a very accomplished entrepreneur and businessman. It provides much-needed inside info to halfway house pre-residents and residents on how to not only make it through the halfway house successfully, but also how to utilize the time spent there in the best, most productive ways possible. With being released from lockup as soon as possible and never going back as the ultimate goals, this succinct little guidebook, which is small and compact enough to be carried around in a pocket as a daily reminder, is a tremendous asset to halfway house pre-residents and residents. It is a necessary, wisdom-packed literary tool for successful independent living for those who have been incarcerated. The info within this guide, if utilized, will greatly assist in the general maintaining of ex-prisoners' freedom.
