Book excerpt: Almost 700,000 people are released from prisons in the United States each year, and most experts believe that stable employment is critical to their successful transition into the community. The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) in New York is an employment program for ex-prisoners: participants are placed in paid transitional jobs shortly after enrollment, with supervision and support. Once they show good performance in the transitional job, participants get help finding a permanent job and additional support after placement. This report presents interim findings from an evaluation of the program, as part of the federal government Enhanced Services for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration and Evaluation Project. In 2004-2005, a total of 977 ex-prisoners who reported to CEO were assigned, at random, to a program group that was eligible for all of CEO's services or to a control group that received basic job search assistance. These interim finings cover the first 2 years of the project, and include the implementation of the program, impacts on participation and service receipt, impacts on employment and earnings, impacts on recidivism, impacts on other outcomes, and cost analysis.

Book excerpt: Everyone makes mistakes. If the mistake lands you in prison, it can negatively affect your ability to find employment for years to come. This book is about ex-offenders who have overcome the stigma of their criminal backgrounds to find sustainable employment.I began working with the ex-offender population in 2006 through the King County Jobs Initiative, a program that trains this population for high-demand jobs. Prior to training, they attend my job readiness workshop to learn job-search techniques. Over the years, several of these students have touched my heart by their courage and willingness to overcome their "untouchable status" in the world of work. Finding a Job after Losing the Way is a collection of victory stories of 12 individuals. Each profile is followed by endnotes offering advice for getting a job from the ex-offenders' perspectives and comments from me that support their strategies. In this book you will meet:Grif M., a bank robber whose biggest fear was being unable to find employment after 10 years in prison and left with the only option to return to illegal activities.Gillian C., a former paralegal who went to prison for a highly publicized, white collar crime. Upon release, she was sure she could get a job in criminal law, having experienced both sides of the legal system. She was thwarted at every attempt.David H., a black man who grew up in poverty and had a criminal record by 8th grade. He is now a mental health counselor and community activist, rubbing shoulders with some of the most influential people in Seattle.Finding employment after being convicted of a crime is one of the most difficult steps ex-offenders take to reclaim their dignity and establish themselves as productive members of their communities. This book will serve as a guide and inspiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the introduction of more aggressive policing, prosecution, and sentencing since the late 1970s, the number of Americans in prison has increased dramatically. While many have credited these "get tough" policies with lowering violent crime rates, we are only just beginning to understand the broader costs of mass incarceration. In Barriers to Reentry? experts on labor markets and the criminal justice system investigate how imprisonment affects ex-offenders' employment prospects, and how the challenge of finding work after prison affects the likelihood that they will break the law again and return to prison. The authors examine the intersection of imprisonment and employment from many vantage points, including employer surveys, interviews with former prisoners, and state data on prison employment programs and post-incarceration employment rates. Ex-prisoners face many obstacles to re-entering the job market—from employers' fears of negligent hiring lawsuits to the lost opportunities for acquiring work experience while incarcerated. In a study of former prisoners, Becky Pettit and Christopher Lyons find that employment among this group was actually higher immediately after their release than before they were incarcerated, but that over time their employment rate dropped to their pre-imprisonment levels. Exploring the demand side of the equation, Harry Holzer, Steven Raphael, and Michael Stoll report on their survey of employers in Los Angeles about the hiring of former criminals, in which they find strong evidence of pervasive hiring discrimination against ex-prisoners. Devah Pager finds similar evidence of employer discrimination in an experiment in which Milwaukee employers were presented with applications for otherwise comparable jobseekers, some of whom had criminal records and some of whom did not. Such findings are particularly troubling in light of research by Steven Raphael and David Weiman which shows that ex-criminals are more likely to violate parole if they are unemployed. In a concluding chapter, Bruce Western warns that prison is becoming the norm for too many inner-city minority males; by preventing access to the labor market, mass incarceration is exacerbating inequality. Western argues that, ultimately, the most successful policies are those that keep young men out of prison in the first place. Promoting social justice and reducing recidivism both demand greater efforts to reintegrate former prisoners into the workforce. Barriers to Reentry? cogently underscores one of the major social costs of incarceration, and builds a compelling case for rethinking the way our country rehabilitates criminals.
