The USA prison system holds over a million people each year, but they are routinely barred from securing jobs upon their release. Addressing both policy and socio-cultural realities, Second Chance Hiring makes the economic and ethical case for hiring formerly incarcerated individuals-affording them the chance for re-entry into the workforce and thus society. Uniquely, this book directly addresses employer concerns about potential recidivism and mental health issues of formerly incarcerated individuals, while continuing to uphold their humanity and the value of rehabilitation. It examines successful re-entry programs from around the world that have proven to be consistently safe and effective, and it provides employers suggestions for where to start when considering hiring former offenders.
