520    "When a woman leaves prison, she enters a world of 
       competing messages and conflicting advice. Staff from 
       prison, friends, family members, workers at halfway houses
       and treatment programs all have something to say about who
       she is, who she should be, and what she should do. The Ex-
       Prisoner's Dilemma offers an in-depth, firsthand look at 
       how the former prisoner manages messages about returning 
       to the community. Over the course of a year, Andrea 
       Leverentz conducted repeated interviews with forty-nine 
       women as they adjusted to life outside of prison and 
       worked to construct new ideas of themselves as former 
       prisoners and as mothers, daughters, sisters, romantic 
       partners, friends, students, and workers. Listening to 
       these women, along with their family members, friends, and
       co-workers, Leverentz pieces together the narratives they 
       have created to explain their past records and guide their
       future behavior. She traces where these narratives came 
       from and how they were shaped by factors such as gender, 
       race, maternal status, age, and experiences in prison, 
       halfway houses, and twelve-step programs--factors that in 
       turn shaped the women's expectations for themselves, and 
       others' expectations of them. The women's stories form a 
       powerful picture of the complex, complicated human 
       experience behind dry statistics and policy statements 
       regarding prisoner reentry into society for women, how the
       experience is different for men and the influence society 
       plays. With its unique view of how society's mixed 
       messages play out in ex-prisoners' lived realities, The Ex
       -Prisoner's Dilemma shows the complexity of these women's 
       experiences within the broad context of the war on drugs 
       and mass incarceration in America."--Publisher's 
       description.
