Marked: Race, Crime, and Finding Work in an Era of Mass Incarceration
Devah Pager
Nearly every job application asks it: have you ever been convicted of a crime? For the hundreds of thousands of young men leaving American prisons each year, their answer to that question may determine whether they can find work. This book offers a glimpse into the tremendous difficulties facing ex-offenders in the job market.
