Saundra D. Westervelt and Kimberly J. Cook present eighteen exonerees' stories, focusing on three central areas: the invisibility of the innocent after release, the complicity of the justice system in that invisibility, and personal trauma management. Contrary to popular belief, exonerees are not automatically compensated by the state or provided adequate assistance in the transition to post-prison life. With no time and little support, many struggle to find homes, financial security, and community. They have limited or obsolete employment skills and difficulty managing such daily tasks as grocery shopping or banking. They struggle to regain independence, self-sufficiency, and identity. Drawing upon research on trauma, recovery, coping, and stigma, the authors weave a nuanced fabric of grief, loss, resilience, hope, and meaning to provide the richest account to date of the struggles faced by people striving to reclaim their lives after years of wrongful incarceration. 410 0$aCritical Issues in Crime and Society 606 $aDeath row inmates$zUnited States 606 $aFalse imprisonment$zUnited States 606 $aPrisoners$xDeinstitutionalization$zUnited States 606 $aEx-convicts$zUnited States$xPsychology 606 $aEx-convicts$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aEx-convicts$xServices for$zUnited States 606 $aJudicial error$zUnited States 615 0$aDeath row inmates 615 0$aFalse imprisonment 615 0$aPrisoners$xDeinstitutionalization 615 0$aEx-convicts$xPsychology. 615 0$aEx-convicts$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aEx-convicts$xServices for 615 0$aJudicial error 676 $a364.660973 700 $aWestervelt$b Saundra Davis$f1968-$0876773 701 $aCook$b Kimberly J.$f1961-$01621889 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810742303321 996 $aLife after death row$93955409 997 $aUNINA
