Summary:	"The incarceration rate in the United States is the highest of any developed nation, with a prison population of approximately 2.3 million in 2016. Over 700,000 prisoners are released each year, and most face significant educational, economic, and social disadvantages. In After Prison: Navigating Adulthood in the Shadow of the Justice System, sociologists David J. Harding and criminologist Heather M. Harris provide a comprehensive account of young man's experiences of reentry and reintegration in the era of mass incarceration. They focus on the unique challenges faced by 1,300 black and white youth aged 18 to 25 who were released from Michigan prisons in 2003, investigating the lives of those who achieved some measure of success after leaving prison as well as those who struggled with the challegne of creating new lives for themselves. This book offers a set of targeted policy interventions to improve these young people's chances. After Prison will be an important contribution to the fields of scholarly work on the criminal justice system and disconnected youth"--
