One out of every ten prisoners in the United States is serving a life sentence—roughly 130,000 people. While some have been sentenced to life in prison without parole, the majority of prisoners serving ‘life’ will be released back into society. But what becomes of those people who reenter the everyday world after serving life in prison? In After Life Imprisonment, Marieke Liem carefully examines the experiences of “lifers” upon release. Through interviews with over sixty homicide offenders sentenced to life but granted parole, Liem tracks those able to build a new life on the outside and those who were re-incarcerated. The interviews reveal prisoners’ reflections on being sentenced to life, as well as the challenges of employment, housing, and interpersonal relationships upon release. Liem explores the increase in handing out of life sentences, and specifically provides a basis for discussions of the goals, costs, and effects of long-term imprisonment, ultimately unpacking public policy and discourse surrounding long-term incarceration. A profound criminological examination, After Life Imprisonment reveals the untold, lived experiences of prisoners before and after their life sentences.

Esta obra es el resultado de la investigación denominada "Familia y privación de la libertad" realizada durante los años 2014 y 2015 por el equipo de investigación en asuntos penitenciarios y carcelarios del Instituto Rosarista de Acción Social -SERES-. Esta investigación tenía por objetivo establecer los impactos de la privación de la libertad en las familias y sus dinámicas, desde los puntos de vista jurídico, económico, psicológico y social, de acuerdo con la percepción y vivencia personal de las personas privadas de la libertad y algunos de los miembros que conforman su familia. Con base en la información encontrada en campo fue posible establecer una concepción de familia que, lejos de presentarse como una estructura rígida, permite formas flexibles y diversas. Igualmente, el estudio propone una tipología de familia de la persona privada de la libertad, presenta los efectos de la desvinculación familiar y las formas de adaptarse a diferentes situaciones.
