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.

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 Returning home written by Amanda N. Ward and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early aughts, there has been increased scholarly, public, and political interest in the post-carceral experiences of men and women caught up in the criminal justice system. Reentry literatures highlight the significant challenges that ex-prisoners face returning to their communities, particularly in meeting their housing needs. The increased interest in ex-prisoners, while promising, has focused almost entirely on the challenges male prisoners face exiting long-term incarceration from prison. This is an oversight: over the past three decades, local jails have experienced a dramatic population expansion that mirrors that seen in prisons, yet they have received remarkably little scholarly attention. The increase of jail prisoners and time spent in jail has also occurred alongside women's increasing involvement in the criminal justice system. Few studies have examined the collateral consequences of jail incarceration for the women who experience it or the unique challenges they face exiting jail. Additionally, despite the significant overlap between jail and homeless populations, few studies have examined the collateral consequences of short-term jail incarceration on prisoners' living situations or how and where jail prisoners find housing on release. This dissertation examines women's experiences exiting one Midwestern jail to understand how short-term incarceration in jail impacts women's housing options on release as well as how post-release living conditions shape women's efforts to leave criminal activity behind and avoid future incarceration. The bulk of the data analyzed in this research comes from longitudinal interviews with 28 women experiencing reentry from jail, as well as interviews with 26 community corrections agents who supervise women exiting jail. The women in this study experienced chronic, periodic housing instability over the course of their lives, an instability that was intimately connected to the processes by which they ended up in jail. On release, housing instability was a significant barrier to women attempting to rebuild their lives and avoid re-incarceration. Two themes predominated: security of housing and control over one's environment. Women who had precarious housing situations in locations where they lacked autonomy were particularly vulnerable to predation, relapse and re-incarceration.
Download or read book Revolting Subjects written by Doctor Imogen Tyler and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-11 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolting Subjects is a groundbreaking account of social abjection in contemporary Britain, exploring how particular groups of people are figured as revolting and how they in turn revolt against their abject subjectification. The book utilizes a number of high-profile and in-depth case studies - including 'chavs', asylum seekers, Gypsies and Travellers, and the 2011 London riots - to examine the ways in which individuals negotiate restrictive neoliberal ideologies of selfhood. In doing so, Tyler argues for a deeper psychosocial understanding of the role of representational forms in producing marginality, social exclusion and injustice, whilst also detailing how stigmatization and scapegoating are resisted through a variety of aesthetic and political strategies. Imaginative and original, Revolting Subjects introduces a range of new insights into neoliberal societies, and will be essential reading for those concerned about widening inequalities, growing social unrest and social justice in the wider global context.
Download or read book Offender Reentry written by Elaine Gunnison and published by Lynne Rienner Pub. This book was released on 2013 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive exploration of the core issues surrounding offender reentry, Elaine Gunnison and Jacqueline Helfgott highlight the constant tension between policies meant to ensure smooth reintegration and the social forces¿especially the stigma of a criminal record¿that can prevent it from happening. Gunnison and Helfgott focus on the factors that enhance reentry success as they address challenges related to race, class, and gender. Drawing on accounts from corrections professionals and former inmates to illustrate the real-life consequences of reentry policy, they shed light on one of the key criminal justice issues of our time.

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 Health and Incarceration written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four decades, the rate of incarceration in the United States has skyrocketed to unprecedented heights, both historically and in comparison to that of other developed nations. At far higher rates than the general population, those in or entering U.S. jails and prisons are prone to many health problems. This is a problem not just for them, but also for the communities from which they come and to which, in nearly all cases, they will return. Health and Incarceration is the summary of a workshop jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences(NAS) Committee on Law and Justice and the Institute of Medicine(IOM) Board on Health and Select Populations in December 2012. Academics, practitioners, state officials, and nongovernmental organization representatives from the fields of healthcare, prisoner advocacy, and corrections reviewed what is known about these health issues and what appear to be the best opportunities to improve healthcare for those who are now or will be incarcerated. The workshop was designed as a roundtable with brief presentations from 16 experts and time for group discussion. Health and Incarceration reviews what is known about the health of incarcerated individuals, the healthcare they receive, and effects of incarceration on public health. This report identifies opportunities to improve healthcare for these populations and provides a platform for visions of how the world of incarceration health can be a better place.
