- Title
Exiting Prison With No Money, No Credit and No Way to Avoid Debt.
- Authors
SMILEY, CALVIN JOHN
- Abstract
The article discusses the financial challenges faced by individuals upon their release from prison. It highlights the story of Marcelino Rodriguez, who accumulated debt in an attempt to build credit after his release. The article emphasizes the limited research on debt and reentry, and the various forms of debt that system-impacted individuals face. It also explores the concept of social debt and the expectations placed on individuals during reentry. The article concludes by calling for the implementation of strategies to address the taboo of money and debt, as well as broader systemic changes to empower communities and reduce reliance on debt.
