Former prisoners between non-category and invisibility
In this study, we examine the re-entry of 58 people during the first year following their release from prison. Our objective was to gain a more comprehensive perspective on the experience of release from a Romanian prison. We take into account three important dimensions that set the tone and tenor of life after prison: (1) the state as a truant agent in the process of release, (2) family, and (3) employment and other means of becoming economicall…
