Opis

Personal Perspectives from Females Returning Home from Incarceration and the challenges that they face and the support they need. Do formerly incarcerated females face different issues than formerly incarcerated males? When a mother goes to jail, she takes her entire family her; family dynamics are forever changed. In an increasingly tight employment market, how can formerly incarcerated females be better supported as they attempt to reconstruct their lives after prison? How do collateral sanctions and other tacit barriers impact successful reintegration and reentry? Does society really want these citizens restored? Can society afford not to put policy and programs in place to assure that true opportunities for restoration and reintegration are available? Does the war on drugs and the industrial prison complex set these women up to failure? How does race and social class impact incarceration and reentry? What is more effective: drug treatment programs or providing inmates with meaningful job skills while they are incarcerated? Realistically can society afford not to do both? Hear their stories in their own words.
