In Everyday Desistance, Laura Abrams and Diane J. Terry examine the
lives of young people who spent considerable time in and out of
correctional institutions as adolescents. These formerly
incarcerated youth often struggle with the onset of adult
responsibilities at a much earlier age than their more privileged
counterparts. In the context of urban Los Angeles, with a
large-scale gang culture and diminished employment prospects,
further involvement in crime appears almost inevitable. Yet, as
Abrams and Terry point out, these formerly imprisoned youth are
often quite resilient and can be successful at creating lives for
themselves after months or even years of living in institutions run
by the juvenile justice system. This book narrates the day-to-day
experiences of these young men and women, focusing on their
attempts to surmount the challenges of adulthood, resisting a
return to criminal activity, and formulating long-term goals for a
secure adult future.
