Beyond Basic Needs: Social Support and Structure for Successful Offender Reentry

Barriers to successful reentry have long been identified as impeding an offender’s ability to successfully reenter society upon release from incarceration. As a result, research has long examined what shared obstacles the majority of offenders often face upon reentering society. Much of the research identifies factors such as poor education, obtaining/maintaining employment, stable housing, and transportation as common barriers to successful reentry. By using in-depth interviews with ex-offenders deemed as successful that were conducted by two respective non-profit agencies, the present study explores what significant requirements, if any, successful offenders perceive to need and/or have experienced as lacking while attempting to successfully reenter society. Findings from this study highlight that many of the research- identified needs are not major barriers because they are often provided for by various non-profit agencies. Furthermore, successful ex-offenders overwhelmingly identify poor social support as a major barrier that oftentimes remains neglected in government and non-profit organizational programming

The Impacts of Political Policies, Criminality, and Money on the Criminal Justice System in the United States

As Convict Criminologists we draw upon our experiential knowledge as prisoners held within the American criminal justice system. That experience provides us with a substantial emersion within the material conditions of life within prison as politics, criminality, and the impact of money substantially altered the criminal justice system in the USA that surrounded and controlled our lives. Combined, our experience goes back to the 1970s as convicts, then up to the present as academic faculty and researchers. We review what we believe is the best evidence that explains the inter-relationships between policies (political), criminality and money, and their age-old dance with race, class, and ethnicity in the United States. We first provide a general introduction outlining our research, followed by the historical overview of core policy changes that led to the vast expansion of corrections and their social impacts. Then we take a closer look at research examining intersections of race, money, and politics in USA on drug and crime polices. Conclusions follow

Redemption from the Inside-Out: The Power of Faith-Based Programming

Prisons are tense, cheerless, and often degrading places in which all inmates struggle to maintain their equilibrium despite violence, exploitation, lack of privacy, stringent limitations on family and community contacts, and a paucity of opportunities for meaningful education, work, or other productive activities. As a general matter, prisoners come to see prison as their home and try to make the most of the limited resources available in prison; they establish daily routines that allow them to find meaning and purpose in their prison lives, lives that might otherwise seem empty and hopeless. The resilience shown by prisoners should not be construed as an argument for more or longer prison sentences or for more punitive regimes of confinement, but rather is a reminder that human beings can find meaning in adversity. Prisons are meant to be settings of adversity but should strive to accommodate the human needs of their inhabitants and to promote constructive changes in behavior. Here, there are programmatic offerings that may provide prisoners with the hope, skills, and empowerment necessary to overcome barriers to achievement and success as human beings in any social context. A current line of inquiry has focused on faith based prison programs and the potential benefits that a deepened spiritual life might have on coping with the doing time experience, changing old lifestyles, and reducing the likelihood of people returning to prison. These points will be explored throughout this chapter

Film adaptation from a gender perspective: Bridget Jones’s Diary

La obra de Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones´s Diary, es una de las 10 novelas que mejor reflejan la sociedad de finales del siglo XX, según un estudio llevado a cabo por el periódico The Guardian. El gran éxito de esta obra, tanto de la novela como de la película, se basa en el argumento y en técnicas narrativas que empleó Jane Austen. Dentro del género literario Chick Lit, analizaremos cómo los guionistas crearon una adaptación mediante intertextualidades que reflejan el discurso postfeminista y cuáles fueron las estrategias cinematográficas que utilizaron para la adaptación de la novela.According to a study presented by The Guardian, Bridget Jones´s Diary is one of the 10 novels which best reflects the society at the end of the 20th century. The great success of this novel, as well as the film, is due to the plot and to Jane Austen´s narrative techniques. We will discuss how the scriptwriters created an adaptation through general intertextualities that reveal its connection with the postfeminist discourse, which were the cinematographic strategies that they used for the adaptation of the novel. On the other hand, we will discuss about its author, Helen Fielding, who is one of the writers that best illustrates the situation of occidental women at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century. She describes a woman who dares to talk about her daily problems openly, pulling apart the belief that personal problems have to be kept in the private sphere. She uses real language, even creating new words to give women their own voice; in fact, she is a pioneer in the literary genre called Chick Lit, about which we will discuss its varieties and components. The post-feminist movement will serve as a background to contextualize the novel and the movie. The protagonist, Bridget Jones, is overwhelmed by the expectations of the postfeminist ideals. Bridget Jones´s Diary depicts the postfeminist settings through different intertexts: Jane Austen´s novel and the TV adaptation, both taken to the big screen by the scriptwriters of this movie (Helen Fielding, Andrew Davis and Richard Curtis)
