Book excerpt: A "persuasive and essential" (Matthew Desmond) work that will forever change how we look at life after prison in America through Miller's "stunning, and deeply painful reckoning with our nation's carceral system" (Heather Ann Thompson). Each year, more than half a million Americans are released from prison and join a population of twenty million people who live with a felony record. Reuben Miller, a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and now a sociologist studying mass incarceration, spent years alongside prisoners, ex-prisoners, their friends, and their families to understand the lifelong burden that even a single arrest can entail. What his work revealed is a simple, if overlooked truth: life after incarceration is its own form of prison. The idea that one can serve their debt and return to life as a full-fledge member of society is one of America's most nefarious myths. Recently released individuals are faced with jobs that are off-limits, apartments that cannot be occupied and votes that cannot be cast. As The Color of Law exposed about our understanding of housing segregation, Halfway Home shows that the American justice system was not created to rehabilitate. Parole is structured to keep classes of Americans impoverished, unstable, and disenfranchised long after they've paid their debt to society. Informed by Miller's experience as the son and brother of incarcerated men, captures the stories of the men, women, and communities fighting against a system that is designed for them to fail. It is a poignant and eye-opening call to arms that reveals how laws, rules, and regulations extract a tangible cost not only from those working to rebuild their lives, but also our democracy. As Miller searchingly explores, America must acknowledge and value the lives of its formerly imprisoned citizens.

This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerson Hough wrote a book titled "The Girl at the Halfway House," which was released in 1900. The narrative, which is set in the late 19th-century American West, centres on the adventures of Nan Brent, a mysterious and self-reliant young woman who becomes stuck in a desolate halfway house in the Wyoming wilderness. Nan gets entangled in the lives and struggles of the various people that dwell in the halfway house, such as innovators, cowboys, and outlaws, as she gets to know them. The main source of conflict is the rivalry between the homeowners and ranchers in the area as well as the potential for violence from a renown criminal group headed by Black Bart Haines. Nan's inventiveness and strong will make her an invaluable mediator in conflict resolution. As Nan works through the difficulties of life on the harsh western frontier, themes of justice, atonement, and the wild west are explored throughout the book. The storyline gains levels of mystery and suspense as Nan's true identity and her affiliation with the criminal gang become clear throughout the story.
