       does this matter? -- Barriers to reentry and increased 
       recidivism -- The role of addiction -- The role of sexual 
       abuse in childhood -- The special case of women -- The 
       impact of social capital on reentry -- The special case of

       implications. 
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
