At this link you will find information about a national day of protest for the rights of formerly incarcerated persons. Though the stories of such persons is varied, the obstacles to resuming a normal life after imprisonment are many and often very serious. This I know from my life living in a big city.
This is a big subject of course, but the issue has been brought to the fore with the tragic deaths of hundreds of prisoners in the recent fire in a Honduran prison. With what has been reported as the highest prison population in the developed world, citizens of the United States are well-advised to acquaint themselves of the problems in life both inside and -- later -- outside, the prison.
