America's high incarceration rates are a well-known facet of
contemporary political conversations. Mentioned far less often is
what happens to the nearly 700,000 former prisoners who rejoin
society each year. On the Outside examines the lives of 22
people--varied in race and gender but united by their time in the
criminal justice system--as they pass out of the prison gates and
back into society. The book takes a clear-eyed look at the
challenges faced by former convicts as they try to find work,
housing, and stable communities. Standing alongside these
individual portraits is a substantial quantitative study conducted
by the authors that followed every state prisoner in Michigan who
was released on parole in 2003 (roughly 11,000 individuals) for the
next seven years, providing a comprehensive view of their
post-prison neighborhoods, families, employment, and contact with
the parole system. On the Outside delivers a powerful combination
of hard data and personal narrative that shows why our country
continues to struggle with the social and economic reintegration of
the formerly incarcerated.
