An inside look at the struggles former prisoners face in reentering
society Every year, roughly 650,000 people prepare to reenter
society after being released from state and federal prisons. In
Halfway House, Liam Martin shines a light on their difficult
journeys, taking us behind the scenes at Bridge House, a
residential reentry program near Boston, Massachusetts. Drawing on
three years of research, Martin explores the obstacles these former
prisoners face in the real world. From drug addiction to poverty,
he captures the ups and downs of life after incarceration in vivid,
engaging detail. He shows us what, exactly, it is like to live in a
halfway house, giving us a rare, up-close view of its role in a
dense and often confusing web of organizations governing prisoner
reentry. Martin asks us to rethink the possibilities-and
pitfalls-of using halfway houses to manage the worst excesses of
mass incarceration. A portrait of life in the long shadow of the
carceral state, Halfway House lets us see the struggles of reentry
through the eyes of former prisoners.
