Halfway Home: Race, Punishment and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration

I wrote this book after spending 15 years with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people, their families and friends. This included my brother who was incarcerated and released while I was writing. The book represents the culmination of my work, but above all, I tried to bring the reader into the lives and emotional worlds of people we’ve learned to be afraid of while focusing on what their incarceration means for the state of our democracy.

Indefinite: Doing Time in Jail

This is the best book I’ve read on what it means to do time. Michael Walker, a sociologist, finds himself locked away and writes, with the skill of a novelists, about the challenges you must confront when you’re held in a cage and what our dependence on mass incarceration says about the state of our nation.

1919

This beautiful book of poems uncovers the racial tensions that led to the “bloody summer” of 1919, the series of race riots that shaped our nation. Ewing takes us into the before, during and after of the riot in Chicago without flinching or losing hope. My favorite poem in the collection (and one of my favorite poems all time) finds Emmet Till, now an elder, shopping at a grocery store.

“The Afterlife of Mass Incarceration”

I had the opportunity to chat with Terry Gross about my work with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people. I was deeply moved by her questions and won’t soon forget our time together.
