520 "Hattery and Smith's book On prisoner reentry and social
capital is of society-wide interest to criminologists,
policymakers, prisoners and their families, community
workers, and just ordinary folk who want a better under
standing of the problem of revolving-door criminality. The
authors discuss the practical matters that can serve as
barriers to, as well as avenues for, change to a healthy
and socially productive life for former convicts and their
communities. With social capital--employment, housing,
support networks, supervision, drug and sexual offense
rehab--we can greatly reduce the expense and tragedy of
recurring crime, Hattery and Smith offer a unique
examination through a series of revealing interviews with
ex-prisoners shored up by inarguable data analysis and a
historical background of failed policies of a wasteful but
eminently fixable social problem "--Bonnie Berry Social
Problem Research group.
520 Prisoner Reentry and Social Capital takes as its starting
point interviews with twenty-five men and women during the
summer of 2008 about their experiences with reentering the
"free world" after a period of incar ceration. By
analyzing the experiences of these men and women, Angela
Hattery and Earl Smith take an in-depth look at the
factors that hamper successful reentry and illustrate some
successes and failures, Tho book examines individual
characteristics that inhibit successful reentry such as
addiction and sex offender status, as well as the unique
challenges faced by women. Hattery and Smith also focus on
the role that social capital plays as one of the most
important factors shaping the reentry experience. These
interviews and analyses provide a deeper and more precise
understanding of the biases faced by reentry felons in the
labor market and works to address the key barriers to
reentry in hopes of aiding in their elimination --Book
