While some have been sentenced to life in prison without parole, the majority of prisoners serving 'life' will be released back into society. But what becomes of those people who reenter the everyday world after serving life in prison? In After Life Imprisonment, Marieke Liem carefully examines the experiences of 'lifers' upon release. Through interviews with over sixty homicide offenders sentenced to life but granted parole, Liem tracks those able to build a new life on the outside and those who were re-incarcerated. The interviews reveal prisoners' reflections on being sentenced to life, as well as the challenges of employment, housing, and interpersonal relationships upon release. Liem explores the increase in handing out of life sentences, and specifically provides a basis for discussions of the goals, costs, and effects of long-term imprisonment, ultimately unpacking public policy and discourse surrounding long-term incarceration. A profound criminological examination, After Life Imprisonment reveals the untold, lived experiences of prisoners before and after their life sentences"--Provided by publisher. 530 $a Also available as an e-book. 650 0 $a Prisoners $x Deinstitutionalization $z United States. 650 0 $a Murderers $z United States 650 0 $a Life imprisonment $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Ex-convicts $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Ex-convicts $z United States $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Recidivism $z United States. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Criminology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Sampson, Robert J., $d 1956- $e writer of foreword. 830 0 $a New perspectives in crime, deviance, and law series 941 $a 3 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214020033.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024318.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20170601010139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9BC4BBFC468F11E7B6F4D8AFDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
