Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison with Bruce Western

Bruce Western is Professor of Sociology and co-director of the Justice Lab at Columbia University. His most recent book, Homeward: Life in the Year after Prison, examines the tumultuous first year after release from prison. Drawing from in-depth interviews with over one hundred individuals, Western describes the lives of the formerly incarcerated and demonstrates how poverty, racial inequality, and failures of social support trap many in a cycle of vulnerability despite their efforts to rejoin society.
