A "persuasive and essential" (Matthew Desmond) work that will forever change how we look at life after prison in America through Miller's "stunning, and deeply painful reckoning with our nation's carceral system" (Heather Ann Thompson).Each year, more than half a million Americans are released from prison and join a population of twenty million people who live with a felony record.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. Recently released individuals are faced with jobs that are off-limits, apartments that cannot be occupied and votes that cannot be cast.As The Color of Law exposed about our understanding of housing segregation, Halfway Home shows that the American justice system was not created to rehabilitate. Parole is structured to keep classes of Americans impoverished, unstable, and disenfranchised long after they've paid their debt to society.Informed by Miller's experience as the son and brother of incarcerated men, captures the stories of the men, women, and communities fighting against a system that is designed for them to fail. It is a poignant and eye-opening call to arms that reveals how laws, rules, and regulations extract a tangible cost not only from those working to rebuild their lives, but also our democracy. As Miller searchingly explores, America must acknowledge and value the lives of its formerly imprisoned citizens.PEN America 2022 John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction FinalistWinner of the 2022 PROSE Award for Excellence in Social Sciences2022 PROSE Awards Finalist2022 PROSE Awards Category Winner for Cultural Anthropology and SociologyAn NPR Selected 2021 Books We LoveAs heard on NPR’s Fresh Air

Produktinformasjon

Oppdag virkeligheten bak 'Halfway Home'

Bli med på en gripende reise gjennom 'Halfway Home: Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration', en sterk og tankevekkende bok skrevet av Reuben Miller. Denne boken kaster lys over de usynlige barrierene som millioner av amerikanere står overfor etter løslatelse fra fengsel.

Hvorfor er 'Halfway Home' et must-read?

  • En dyptgående analyse: Miller, en tidligere kapellan og nå sosolog, gir oss innblikk i de utfordringene som fanger, tidligere fanger og deres familier opplever i møte med et urettferdig rettssystem.
  • Perspektiv: Med sin personlige bakgrunn og erfaringer av å ha en familie med fanger, tar han leserne med inn i mennenes og kvinners historier som tar kampen mot systemet.
  • Rystende innsikter: 'Halfway Home' viser at livet etter fengsel er en ny form for fangenskap, der rettighetene til de som har betalt sin gjeld til samfunnet, blir nektet.

Hovedtrekk ved boken

Miller undersøker hvordan lovgivning og regler bidrar til å opprettholde fattigdom og marginalisering etter soning, og utfordrer den utbredte myten om at man kan gjenvinne sitt liv som fullt medlem av samfunnet. Dette gjør 'Halfway Home' til en essensiell lesning for alle som ønsker å forstå de langsiktige konsekvensene av masseinnsperring og rasespørsmål i USA.

En viktig samtale

Den bemerkelsesverdige boken har vunnet flere priser, inkludert 2022 PEN America John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction, og er en kraftfull stemme for de som har blitt oversett og undertrykt av systemet. Miller ber oss til å anerkjenne og verdsette livene til de som tidligere har vært fengslet, og minner oss om hvordan deres stemmer er viktige i vår demokratiske samtale.

Ta del i denne viktige diskusjonen og la 'Halfway Home' endre måten du ser på livet etter fangenskap. Det er ikke bare en bok; det er et kall til handling!
