Description

"Drawing on dozens of interviews with inmates, former prisoners, and prison officials, Joan Petersilia convincingly shows us how the current system is failing, and failing badly. Unwilling merely to sound the alarm, Petersilia explores the harsh realities of prisoner reentry and offers specific solutions to prepare inmates for release, reduce recidivism, and restore them to full citizenship, while never losing sight of the demands of public safety."--Jacket.

First Sentence

One of the most profound challenges facing American society is the reintegration of more than 600,000 adults-about 1,600 a day-who leave state and federal prisons and return home each year.
