This book examines the lives of twenty-two individuals—diverse in race and gender but united by their experiences in the criminal justice system—as they transition from incarceration back into society. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals in securing employment, housing, and stable community connections. The authors also present a quantitative study tracking approximately 11,000 parolees in Michigan over seven years, offering insights into their post-prison experiences.
