SUMMARY:Book Talk | Halfway Home: Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:
 Dr. Reuben Jonathan Miller (Author and Sociologist, 
 University of Chicago) In conversation 
 with Dr. Jennifer Cobbina (Host, MSU School of 
 Criminal Justice).\n
 \n
 Halfway Home by Reuben 
 Jonathan Miller 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.\n
 \n
 Informed 
 by Miller's experience as the 
 son and brother of incarcerated men, Halfway 
 Home captures the stories of the men, women, 
 and communities fighting against a system 
 that is designed for them to fail.\n
 \n
 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.\n\n
