The educational and vocational training offered in many prisons are typically not recognized by accredited educational institutions as acceptable course work or by employers as valid work experience, making it difficult for recently-released prisoners to find jobs. Families often will not or cannot allow their formerly incarcerated relatives to live with them. In many states, those with felony convictions cannot receive financial aid for further education, vote in elections, receive welfare benefits, or live in public housing. In short, they are not treated as full citizens, and every year, hundreds of thousands of people released from prison are forced to live on the margins of society. This book explores the issue of prisoner reentry from the felons' perspective. It features the voices of formerly incarcerated felons as they attempt to reconnect with family, learn how to acclimate to society, try to secure housing, find a job, and complete a host of other important goals. By examining national housing, education and employment policies implemented at the state and local levels, Middlemass shows how the law challenges and undermines prisoner reentry and creates second-class citizens. Even if the criminal justice system never convicted another person of a felony, millions of women and men would still have to figure out how to reenter society, essentially on their own. This book explores how individuals, and society as a whole, suffer when a felony conviction exacts a punishment that never ends. 001399110 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001399110 650_0 $$aEx-convicts$$xServices for$$zNew Jersey. 001399110 650_0 $$aPrisoners$$xDeinstitutionalization$$zUnited States. 001399110 650_0 $$aEx-convicts$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions. 001399110 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001399110 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMiddlemass, Keesha.$$tConvicted and condemned.$$dNew York : New York University Press, [2017]$$z9780814724392$$w(DLC) 2016047067$$w(OCoLC)961160620 001399110 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001399110 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4714287$$zOnline Access 001399110 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:945683$$pGLOBAL_SET 001399110 980__ $$aEBOOK 001399110 980__ $$aBIB 001399110 982__ $$aEbook 001399110 983__ $$aOnline
