Inclusion Book Club: Halfway Home
We're back for the new church year, and our first book will be Halfway Home: Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration by Reuben Jonathan Miller.
Reuben Miller served as a chaplain in Cook County Jail and is now a sociologist studying mass incarceration. He shares stories from his own family, and others, to illustrate the painful experiences of formerly incarcerated Americans and their families as they struggle to reintegrate into society, while fighting a system that sets them up for failure.
See NPR's Fresh Air for a poignant interview with Reuben Miller.
We discussed Section 1 of the book on September 24, but there is still time to join us on October 22, at 7pm when we discuss Section 2 (or whatever you plan to discuss) via Zoom. For more information, please contact Lisa and Kimberly at inclusionbookclubleader@uusg.org.
