- This book is the primary output from an intensive 15-year study of the long-term consequences of Hurricane Katrina for the lives of former prisoners in Louisiana. It examines why most released prisoners reoffend and are sent back to prison within three years, and what can be done to alter the revolving door of incarceration. The project used a variety of methods, including (1) a natural experiment, (2) a randomized field experiment, specifically a housing mobility programme, and (3) repeated qualitative interviews with current and former prisoners.
