| Sommario/riassunto: | As the number of ex-convicts in America continues to grow, their systematic marginalization threatens the very society their imprisonment was meant to protect. The author explores the harsh realities of prisoner re-entry and offers specific solutions whilst keeping in mind public safety. |
