abstract: 'In this study, I analyze the experiences of people leaving prison and
jail, using the concept of urban neoliberal debt peonage. I define urban
neoliberal debt peonage as the push of race-class subjugated (RCS)
formerly incarcerated people into the low-wage labor market. I argue
that urban neoliberal debt peonage is a social process of economic
extraction from and racial control of RCS groups structured by state
bureaucracies and corporate employers. I provide evidence for this
argument using participant observation and interview methods in a large
northeastern U.S. city at an employment-oriented prisoner reentry
organization that I call ``Afterward.{''''} People came to Afterward
seeking employment, but were forwarded to work that was often unstable
and unable to support subsistence living. Unstable low-wage work did not
alter people''s social and economic situations enough to preclude them
from engaging in income-producing criminal activity that comes with the
risk of reincarceration. Meanwhile, the criminal justice system
extracted money from the formerly incarcerated via debt collection, and
corporate employers benefited from neoliberal policies that give them
tax breaks for hiring Afterward clients. While not identical, the social
process of urban neoliberal debt peonage echoes that of post-Civil War
debt peonage and convict leasing.'
