From Prison to Poverty
Sociologist Bruce Western is spending his year as the Evelyn Green Davis Fellow at Radcliffe to focus on a multiyear study that tracked the lives of 122 men and women who left prison and returned to their Boston neighborhoods. In an interview with the Harvard Gazette about his work, he shares insights into how social conditions of American poverty shape the lives of those released from incarceration.
