Second Chance Hiring: An Economic and Ethical Necessity de Mitch Pearlstein

Second Chance Hiring: An Economic and Ethical Necessity

Autor Mitch Pearlstein
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 ian 2026
The USA prison system holds over a million people each year, but they are routinely barred from securing jobs upon their release. Addressing both policy and socio-cultural realities, Second Chance Hiring 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.

Recenzii

Mitch Pearlstein's book is an important addition to the body of work focusing on 'second chance hiring', the intentional hiring of people with criminal records including those exiting incarceration. Pearlstein writes personally and with passion, but doesn't neglect that such hiring must rest on economics that work for employers. His book is wide-ranging, but eminently readable, covering the 'nuts and bolts' success of a remarkable nonprofit, The Redemption Project, as well as policy, economics, and ethics.
Mitch Pearlstein supports his humane approach for why second chance hiring matters with science and social theory, while not dodging shortcomings within the USA criminal justice system. One of his strengths is weaving together street-level credibility stories told by big city leaders of re-entry programs with suite-level accountability measures from CEOs with real-world experience in hiring adults with a criminal record. By doing so, Pearlstein clears the fog of pessimism that too often blurs our vison, or chokes our courage, to take on the tough but necessary task of employing people after incarceration.
