Why the punishment for a felony record continues long after prison ends
In short: Life remains difficult for the almost 20 million US citizens holding a felony conviction once their incarceration concludes. This talk explores how punitive policies persist in the shadows of the justice system.
Sociologist Reuben Jonathan Miller examines the lasting aftershocks of mass incarceration in the US. Through the lived experiences of those who have navigated the system, Miller illustrates how individuals must continue to grapple with punishing policies even after their release. The presentation serves as a challenge to rethink the criminal justice system, advocating for a way to create a place in society for everyone, including those who have caused harm.
