When Prisoners Come Home is written by Joan Petersilia and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0199888949 (ISBN 10) and 9780199888948 (ISBN 13).

Drawing on dozens of interviews with inmates, former prisoners, and prison officials, Joan Petersilia convincingly shows us how the current system is failing to help the enornmous numbers of jailed Americans reenter society. Unwilling merely to sound the alarm, Petersilia explores the harsh realities of prisoner reentry and offers specific solutions to prepare inmates for release, reduce recidivism, and restore them to full citizenship, while never losing sight of the demands of public safety.
