ANNOTATION: The impact of the loss of certain rights upon an individual’s release from incarceration is examined. “These consequences include ineligibility for public and government-assisted housing, public benefits, and various forms of employment, as well as civic exclusions such as ineligibility for jury services and disenfranchisement” (p. 459).
