The author argues that re-entry is not a conclusion to punishment but rather an extension of it, highlighting the ongoing struggles related to race, gender, and social class that affect formerly incarcerated individuals. The narratives presented reveal the trauma and systemic barriers these individuals encounter, including issues of housing instability and the impact of punitive policies. Ultimately, the author advocates for the abolition of prisons, urging readers to approach the subject with humility and compassion for those affected by the criminal justice system. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
