Why Life After Incarceration Is Just Another Prison, with Reuben Jonathan Miller

<p>For the more than 20 million people with a felony record, incarceration doesn’t end at the prison gate. They enter what University of Chicago scholar Reuben Jonathan Miller calls the “afterlife” of mass incarceration.</p> <p>Miller, an assistant professor at the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy and Practice, is the author of a new book, <em>Halfway Home: Race, Punishment and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration—</em>an intimate portrait that draws on his sociological research and personal experiences. It’s a unique sociological look at our system of mass incarceration and how it continues to imprison people after their sentence and also punishes their families.</p>
