Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In the last thirty years, prisons have become a dominant and central institution in American public life. In 2001, 1 in every 37 U.S. adult residents had spent time in prison (BJS 2001). Yet research tends to cover the time before, in between or after periods of incarceration. Analyses of corrections data demonstrate who is in prison and how this has changed over time, but provide little insight into the contemporary experience of prison. This paper begins this neglected dialogue by investigating how recently released prisoners understand their experience with the criminal justice system. The analysis uses data from in-depth interviews with prisoners released from state prisons in Illinois and New York between January 2001 and December 2003. The data show that respondents took individual responsibility for their own lives, crimes, and punishment. However, they felt that the criminal justice system as a whole was unfair. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.
