After Prison
A special issue on incarcerated America

Reentry

Reversing mass imprisonment
Bruce Western

"To be young, black, and unschooled today is to risk a felony conviction, prison time, and a life of second-class citizenship. In this sense, the prison boom has produced mass incarceration—a level of imprisonment so vast and concentrated that it forges the collective experience of an entire social group."

Guarded Hope

Lessons from the history of the prison boom
Robert Perkinson

"If racially skewed prison warehousing represents the latest incarnation of American racism, then political mobilization and social transformation on the scale of the civil rights movement may be necessary to dislodge it."

No Further Harm

What we owe to incarcerated fathers
Mary Fainsod Katzenstein and Mary Lyndon Shanley

"The recognition and encouragement of fatherhood behind bars is a vital step in maintaining and fostering the interrelated—indeed, inseparable—commitments of both intimate and civic life."
