Reuben Miller: "Halfway Home--Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Incarceration"

Dr. Reuben Miller says the American justice system does not aim to rehabilitate people who commit crime. Instead, he says programs like parole create instability and lifelong poverty. In this episode of Watching America, Miller talks about his latest book: “Halfway Home: Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration.”
Dr. Miller is Associate Professor at University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy and Practice.
