When Prisoners Come Home

"Dr. Petersilia's insight is nothing less than insipiring."--Dr. Reginald Wilkinson, Former President, American Correctional Association. "Prisoner reentry has emerged as the most important new issue in justice policy. When Prisoners Come Home is the best, most comprehensive source material on reentry that exists anywhere." --Todd R. Clear, Professor, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, co-author or American Corrections. "When PrisonersCome Home is scholarship at its highest practical level. It is crisply and clearly written--scholarship infused by practical experience and presented without pretension. For many decades, it will dominate the literature on parole and the conditions of prisoners returning to society." --Norval Morris, author of Maconochie'sGentelmen: The story of Norfolk Island and the Roots of Modern Prison Reform
