Alessandro De Giorgio’s excellent blog series Reentry to Nothing: Urban Survival after Mass Incarceration highlights the aftermath of mass incarceration in the United States by following formerly incarcerated people on reentry. The blog shares ethnographic insights about the impact of poverty, racism, homelessness, unemployment, and lack of services upon reentry, vividly illustrating how survival is made even more difficult by a criminal record.
De Giorgio is Associate Professor and Graduate Coordinator in the Department of Justice Studies at San José State University in California.
