When the book first starts, it reads a bit like a unbalanced profile of hero worship, but stick with it it's a fantastic and interesting and wonderfully educational tale. like the sign of any good book, I feel better for having read....well listened to it. #Inspired.

Reuben Miller, a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and now a sociologist studying mass incarceration, spent years alongside prisoners, ex-prisoners, their friends, and their families to understand the lifelong burden that even a single arrest can entail. What his work revealed is a simple, if overlooked truth: life after incarceration is its own form of prison. The idea that one can serve their debt and return to life as a full-fledge member of society is one of America's most nefarious myths.

Fantastic Book
Revisado: 12-17-21
I first read this book as I embarked on a 10 month project documenting the lives of formerly incarcerated folks for a documentary. During that 10 months of traveling all across The US, speaking to all manners of the Reentry community, and continuing to read and listen daily to new information, this book still remains one of the best written materials we came across.
It prompted my team and I to reach out to Dr. Miller and interview him for the project. His knowledge and ability to translate it to understandable terms rendered his interview by far the most important interview of the entire project. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about incarceration, racial disparities, or the American Government's relationship to it's own people (most notably those in poverty).
