Abstract:
The majority of U.S. states disenfranchise formerly incarcerated individuals because of their poverty by conditioning re-enfranchisement on the full payment of legal financial obligations. This Note discusses the practice of wealth-based criminal disenfranchisement where the inability to pay legal financial obligations, including fines, fees, restitution, interest payments, court debts, and other economic penalties, prohibits low-income, formerly incarcerated individuals from voting. This Note argues this issue has not been adequately addressed due to unsuccessful legislative reforms and failed legal challenges. An examination of state policies, federal and state legislative reforms, and litigation shows that a more drastic state legislative solution is needed to ensure that no individual is prevented from voting because of their poverty. This Note argues wealth-based criminal disenfranchisement should be completely abolished.

Abstract:
Recent scholarship shows that eligible voters in neighborhoods home to many arrested and incarcerated individuals vote at lower rates than those in less-affected neighborhoods. Little work, however, has investigated how this turnout gap might be counteracted. This paper uses Amendment Four, a 2018 Florida ballot initiative that promised to re-enfranchise most individuals whose voting rights had been revoked due to a felony conviction to investigate whether this turnout disparity can be narrowed by a ballot initiative of particular significance to communities most affected by incarceration. Using prison release records, I identify the neighborhoods and households where formerly incarcerated individuals live and assess the voting history of their neighbors and housemates. I find no evidence that Amendment Four increased these voters’ turnout in 2018 relative to other voters. While ending felony disenfranchisement is necessary, closing the turnout gap resulting from histories of policing and incarceration will require greater investment and engagement.

Abstract:
We examine how public attitudes toward currently/formerly incarcerated people and their reentry into society are affected by consuming information about imprisoned people. Over 1,500 respondents from a national online survey were randomly assigned one of five sources of written information about currently and formerly incarcerated people (CFIP) (three informative pieces and two sets of incarceree poetry). They then reported their views toward them and support for reentry policies. While no differences in support for reentry initiatives across conditions were uncovered, those reading poetry with a humanizing theme applied the least amount of stigma toward currently/formerly incarcerated people.

Abstract:
This exploratory study discusses the results of a nationwide survey of planning directors, designed to understand whether local agencies understand and actively engage with reentry and social integration efforts targeting formerly incarcerated people. The results suggest agencies play administrative-bureaucratic roles facilitating environments that affect housing and employment opportunities for formerly incarcerated populations, yet many appear unaware of how regulatory and policy frameworks translate into local infrastructures of inclusion and exclusion. These knowledge gaps are exacerbated by engagement practices that tend to privilege security and incarceration stakeholders over those connected to reentry, including formerly incarcerated people themselves.

Abstract:
The current study examined whether current community supervision status was associated with differences in demographic characteristics, lifetime substance use patterns, and criminal history among a sample of formerly incarcerated individuals with a history of substance use problems. Results of multivariate analyses revealed participants on community supervision were more likely to have graduated from high school or earned a General Education Development test credential (GED; odds ratio [OR] = 1.60; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.15, 17.24]) and were less likely to have a history of psychiatric hospitalization (OR = 0.88; 95% CI = [0.08, 9.35]). These characteristics may be proxies for social and emotional functioning that influence eligibility for community supervision. Despite these apparent advantages, the community supervision group did not significantly differ from the formerly incarcerated group without current justice involvement on lifetime substance use patterns or criminal history, suggesting formerly incarcerated individuals with substance use disorders may require more intensive interventions to promote existing strengths.

Abstract:
Abstract: Objectives: A qualitative program evaluation of the Formerly Incarcerated Peer Support (FIPS) group, a peer-led mutual support group for formerly incarcerated people, was conducted to understand participant perceptions of (1) digital delivery via Zoom, (2) curriculum content, (3) roles of group participants, and (4) therapeutic value of FIPS group as it relates to traumatic experiences in prison and ongoing challenges after release. Methods: Using a community-based participatory action research approach, a qualitative evaluation was conducted with participants in either the 2020 or 2021 curriculum. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom, transcribed, de-identified, coded, and analyzed via applied thematic analysis and results reviewed with participants. Results: Of 75 formerly incarcerated participants, 20 interviews were conducted and recorded ( n = 20). All participants were male, 85% were Black, and the average age was 54.8 years old. Zoom delivery was not preferred, but feasible. Most appreciated the comprehensive and holistic curriculum that enabled peers to gain practical and emotional social support in different areas of life after release. The facilitator’s experience with prison programs and relationships within peer networks was essential for recruitment and retention. Participants described (1) feelings of acceptance, (2) examples of teaching and learning from peers’ improved insight, trigger management, response modification to stressors, and (3) improved understanding within relationships with those who have not been incarcerated. Conclusions: Digital delivery of peer-led psychosocial support groups for formerly incarcerated people is feasible and impactful. Future research can further characterize the lingering impacts of institutional traumas and quantify changes.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss how case management can decrease recidivism for people with serious mental illness (SMI) because people with SMI are at high risk for incarceration and recidivism. Design/methodology/approach Examples of successful case management models for formerly incarcerated individuals with SMI found through a secondary analysis of qualitative data and an analysis of the literature are presented. Findings Currently, no international, national, or statewide guidelines exist to ensure that formerly incarcerated individuals with SMI receive case management upon community reentry despite evidence that such services can prevent further criminal justice involvement. Recommendations include establishment of and evaluation of best practices for case management. In addition, the authors recommend additional funding for case management with the goal of greatly increasing the number of individuals with SMI leaving the criminal justice system in their ability to access adequate case management. Originality/value Providing effective case management tailored to the needs of formerly incarcerated people with SMI improves their quality of life and reduces their involvement in the criminal justice system with clear positive outcomes for public safety and public health.

Abstract:
Abstract This article presents a perspective on the value of yoga and mindfulness programming in carceral settings. The authors explore this topic through interviews with two formerly incarcerated people who participated in yoga programming while incarcerated and who went on to become yoga instructors themselves. Also examined are the potential effects of yoga programming for people who are incarcerated, for those working within carceral settings, and on carceral environments generally. We share recommendations for implementing yoga programming in carceral institutions and discuss policy implications. The stories of both interviewees reflect the value and potential positive effects of yoga programming within criminal justice settings and suggest the need for sustained programming and ongoing empirical evaluation.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the idea of universal basic income (UBI). The idea of universal or guaranteed income proposes that governments provide cash transfers to ensure a livable income to all residents. In effect, this deals with the jobs crisis not by making sure that everyone has a job or by creating more but by making sure everyone does not need to have one. The chapter then argues, first, that by liberating people from the demands of the capitalist employment relationship and the provider–client relationship of certain government programs, UBI inherently advances individual freedom or self-determination. Second, in making space for alternatives, UBI is likely to facilitate relations grounded in solidarity and the mutual benefit of the community. Third, and finally, consequences of UBI may include justice for particular marginalized groups, including those currently on welfare, women, racial minorities, and formerly incarcerated people.

Abstract:
The chapter offers a unique exploration of the struggle for women’s suffrage by analyzing how formerly incarcerated women responded to the concept of infamy, the legal category of the loss of citizenship rights. The chapter highlights the tension between the South’s disenfranchisement practices and the concurrent demands of the suffrage movement by analyzing petitions to regain citizenship rights for female felons. These petitions come from a variety of states, including one from Hawaii’s Queen Liliuokolani alongside many other unrecognized women. Whereas most discussions of felony disenfranchisement have focused on African American men, this chapter uncovers a previously unwritten history that connects the struggle for suffrage with the struggle for voting rights among formerly incarcerated women. Rather than relegate these women as politically voiceless and nonhistorical actors, however, the essay instead recognizes convicted women as political actors willing to fight for their full citizenship rights as individuals inspired by the suffrage movement but without the organizational movement behind their individual efforts.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter focuses on formerly incarcerated and convicted people’s challenges in reentry and under community correctional control. It examines the consequences of the carceral state in the communities that formerly incarcerated and convicted people come from and return to as workers, parents, partners, and neighbors. It describes the many restrictions of probation and parole and the benefits and risks of court-ordered community-based treatment programs for those living with mental illness and substance use disorders. This chapter offers strategies for anti-oppressive social work practice through a lens of desistance, resilience, and community-driven accountability processes. It offers avenues to rebuild community well-being through decriminalization and reinvestment guided by lived experiences in the carceral state.

Abstract:
This chapter summarizes the main argument of the book and then telescopes out to examine how the two cases of prophetic redemption fit within the broader landscape of contemporary changes in civic activism among the formerly incarcerated. It argues that some are resistant to accept the fact that formerly incarcerated people can engage in civic and political action as a form of social integration. However, it also argues that neoliberal, elite actors are attempting to interpellate formerly incarcerated activists’ efforts for nefarious purposes. It finishes by considering the agency of formerly incarcerated persons in constructing meaning from the postincarceration experience and in using civic activism to make good.

Abstract:
Prisoner reentry is a concept that examines the reality faced by formerly incarcerated men and women upon their release from a correction facility. A primary concern from the perspective of institutions within the criminal justice system is whether formerly incarcerated men or women return to prison. Re-incarceration is a signal that the institution has failed at rehabilitating the former convict, as well as signal of personal failure on the part of the ex-con. Prisoner reentry is much more complex than the idea of reincarceration after release from prison lets on. There is an abundance of research on the reentry experience. This chapter reviews some important findings relevant to our understanding of the prisoner reentry experience.

Abstract:
Abstract Reentry into the general population after being incarcerated presents many difficulties, such as finding housing, shelter, and support. Recidivism rates continue to be high, and people often are rearrested within nine years of being released. Formerly incarcerated people often struggle with the stigma surrounding those who have been incarcerated, and this often leads to difficulties finding housing, jobs, and government funding. Advocating for enhancing community resources for those who are reentering society after being incarcerated can change the outcome of their futures. Instead of focusing funding solely on the policing and court side of the criminal justice system, investing in substance use and mental health prevention and treatment can help reentry success. This chapter covers the difficulties of reentry, the stigma surrounding incarcerated people, and ways to advocate for change to make reentry more successful.

Abstract:
On July 1, 2023, the Second Chance Pell Grant (SCPG) became widely available to people who are incarcerated after an extended pilot program that was launched in 2016. This expansion of Pell availability marks the first time incarcerated students have been eligible for Pell funding since the passing of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994—often called the 1994 Crime Bill—which removed many educational access protections that had previously been supported by the Higher Education Act of 1965. Now, approximately 760,000 students who are incarcerated are, again, eligible to apply for Pell funding to begin, continue, or complete their educations. Students who are or were formerly incarcerated face unique challenges when it comes to being accepted into and completing degree programs, which employers and institutions that are considering providing PEPs need to be aware of to aid students in overcoming these barriers.

Abstract:
Abstract There are many ties between incarceration and health. Previous chapters have outlined the numerous negative consequences of incarceration for the health of individuals, families, and communities, as well as the potential for reform. The final chapter argues that the connection between incarceration and health is also a matter of justice. Providing better health care to those currently and formerly incarcerated can lead to a more efficient administration of justice. Health destabilizes the concision of punishment and undermines the capacity of people to reintegrate. Better serving the needs of people in and released from prison can ultimately lead to a more just and healthy society.

Abstract:
Barred from equal participation in the economy and socially isolated from family and peers transgender people are often pushed into the underground economy and are targeted by citizens, authority figures and the state, increasing their chances of encountering the criminal legal system and leading to overrepresentation among the incarcerated. Oparah (2017) argues that gender nonconforming people are subject to both racialized punishment and policing of gender, or (trans)gender entrapment, as a result of the violence, poverty, and stigma that is pervasive throughout their life course. Though it is well documented that confinement in such hypergendered institutions as prisons and jails poses additional challenges for individuals who identify as anything other than cisgender or heterosexual, including experiencing higher rates of various forms of victimization (Mogul, Ritchie, and Whitlock, 2011, p. 99), less is known about how formerly incarcerated transgender people experience reentry to society (Buist & Lenning, 2016, p. 118), and particularly, how transgender people under continued state surveillance as part of post-release supervision (i.e., on parole) navigate the system in attempts to maintain compliance. This chapter aims to examine the ways in which reentry is impacted by transgender identities, and how this is compounded by the added stigma of a criminal record, particularly felony conviction.
