Welcome to Litsy!

Another exercise in self-pity and victimhood (the market is flooded with these books right now; they're quite fashionable). It's also an exercise in futility since the ones who need to read this the most--the at-risk, wannabe gangster pieces of shit who don't fully understand the consequences of their choices--never will.

(Continued)...mail and months without a visit.😁🤣

(Continued)...away when the visit comes to an end.🤣😁

(Continued)...prison for missing any of these appointments, and he was right.🤣😁

(Continued)...his whereabouts tracked through an ankle bracelet and GPS technology, so he had to do all this between 8:00 a.m. and 3 p.m each day. If he violated any of these conditions, he could be sent back to prison. 😁

(Continued)...He could not cross state lines without the court's permission. He could not possess a firearm. He could not return to or be near the vicinity of his last arrest.😁

The only reason why I'm reading this book is because the piece of shit that lives upstairs from me is a former (and future) convict, and him and his garbage family are going to get evicted soon, so I'm reading this book with a huge smile on my face so that I can envision all of the misery that lies ahead for them.

Good book tracking multiple individuals after they get out of jail/prison. It‘s pretty daunting to see the amount of restrictions of housing and jobs after the punishment is served. The author brings up some very valid points and anecdotes to make the reader consider how the US runs its prison system.

This book was amazing. Such an important read.

Did you know incarcerated people are assessed all sorts of fees? I had never thought about it, especially what that means for the poor in prison.

From the tagged book in the Mar 1/8 edition of #TimeMagazine. Miller —a University of Chicago professor— uses a collect call from his incarcerated brother as way to illustrate some of the inequities in the incarceration system.
