Books boeken andrea leverentz rutgers university press book maart 2014 681264: 2014 Choice Outstanding Academic Title When a woman leaves prison she enters a world of competing messages and conflicting advice. Staff from prison friends family members workers at halfway houses and treatment programs all have something to say about who she is who she should be and what she should do.

The Ex-Prisoners Dilemma offers an in-depth firsthand look at how the former prisoner manages messages about returning to the community. Over the course of a year Andrea Leverentz conducted repeated interviews with forty-nine women as they adjusted to life outside of prison and worked to construct new ideas of themselves as former prisoners and as mothers daughters sisters romantic partners friends students and workers.

Listening to these women along with their family members friends and co-workers Leverentz pieces together the narratives they have created to explain their past records and guide their future behavior. She traces where these narratives came from and how they were shaped by factors such as gender race maternal status age and experiences in prison halfway houses and twelve-step programsfactors that in turn shaped the womens expectations for themselves and others expectations of them.

The womens stories form a powerful picture of the complex complicated human experience behind dry statistics and policy statements regarding prisoner reentry into society for women how the experience is different for men and the influence society plays. With its unique view of how societys mixed messages play out in ex-prisoners lived realities The Ex-Prisoners Dilemma shows the complexity of these womens experiences within the broad context of the war on drugs and mass incarceration in America.

It offers invaluable lessons for helping such women successfully rejoin society. .
