Addressing both policy and socio-cultural realities, \u003ci\u003eSecond Chance Hiring\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mitch Pearlstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798881801175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.11d","brand":"Mitch Pearlstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47071979897087,"sku":"9798881801175","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6307e050-acf4-4e79-98ac-3f8c80266d70.jpg?v=1753415452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/second-chance-hiring-mitch-pearlstein-9798881801175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
