This groundbreaking edited volume evaluates prisoner reentry using
a critical approach to demonstrate how the many issues surrounding
reentry do not merely intersect but are in fact reinforcing and
interdependent. The number of former incarcerated persons with a
felony conviction living in the United States has grown
significantly in the last decade, reaching into the millions. When
men and women are released from prison, their journey encompasses a
range of challenges that are unique to each individual, including
physical and mental illnesses, substance abuse, gender identity,
complicated family dynamics, the denial of rights, and the
inability to voice their experiences about returning home. Although
scholars focus on the obstacles former prisoners encounter and how
to reduce recidivism rates, the main challenge of prisoner reentry
is how multiple interdependent issues overlap in complex ways. By
examining prisoner reentry from various critical perspectives, this
volume depicts how the carceral continuum, from incarceration to
reentry, negatively impacts individuals, families, and communities;
how the criminal justice system extends different forms of social
control that break social networks; and how the shifting nature of
prisoner reentry has created new and complicated obstacles to those
affected by the criminal justice system. This volume explores these
realities with respect to a range of social, community, political,
and policy issues that former incarcerated persons must navigate to
successfully reenter society. A springboard for future critical
research and policy discussions, this book will be of interest to
U.S. and international researchers and practitioners interested in
the topic of prisoner reentry, as well as graduate and upper-level
undergraduate students concerned with contemporary issues in
corrections, community-based corrections, critical issues in
criminal justice, criminal justice policies, and reentry.
