And Justice For All : Women and Families of Veterans Treatment Court -- No Peace, No Justice. 520 $a "The United States has both the largest, most expensive, and most powerful military and the largest, most expensive, and most punitive carceral system in the history of the world. Since the American War in Vietnam, the number of veterans who have been incarcerated after their military service has steadily increased, with over 100,000 veterans in prison today. Identifying the previously unrecognized connections between American wars and mass incarceration, Prisoners after War reaches across lines of race, class, and gender to record the untold history of incarcerated veterans over the past six decades. Having conducted dozens of oral history interviews, Jason A. Higgins traces the lifelong effects of war, inequality, disability, and mental illness, and explores why hundreds of thousands of veterans, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, were caught up in the carceral system. This original study tells an intergenerational history of state-sanctioned violence, punishment, and inequality, but its pages also resonate with stories of survival and redemption, revealing future possibilities for reform and reparative justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Veterans $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Prisoners $z United States. 650 0 $a Veteran reintegration $z United States. 650 0 $a Veterans $x Mental health $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 0 $a Alternatives to imprisonment $z United States. 650 0 $a Marginality, Social $z United States. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Higgins, Jason A., 1985- $t Prisoners after war $d Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, [2024] $z 9781685750367 $w (DLC) 2023013417 830 0 $a Veterans (University of Massachusetts Press) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012347.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403010946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8758D412F17F11EE82DF7F7D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
