This article, drawing from interviews, provides an examination of life after prison for two distinct groups returning from prison: people on parole and people exonerated of crimes. There is extensive research concerning people’s experiences after prison; however, the post-prison trajectories of those who have been subsequently exonerated after being falsely convicted of crimes is a far less studied topic. Exonerees benefit after prison from social support arising from various sources such as their families and non-profit organizations. Social networks allow exonerees to be successful in the job market, as well as assist them financially. I find that with the help of dense social networks exonerees must perform their redemption in order to have their basic needs met. Redemption performances are labor that aim to prove that previously incarcerated individuals are worthy of assistance from society. The various negative social and economic consequences of prison are more notable for individuals on parole who are less likely than exonerees to be equipped with networks to draw on for their redemption performances. However, despite exonerees having more support during their return home, they, like individuals on parole, were also left feeling isolated, lost, and de-humanized. I show how resources and the brokering of stigma of incarceration leads to diverging outcomes for people returning from prison, but that trauma still remains.   < Back Chloe Haimson. “Redemption Performance in Exoneration and Parole: Two Pathways Home.” Forthcoming in Qualitative Sociology. ... http://chloehaimson.com/Publications-1 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 01:28:10 +0000 chloehaimson 336034 < Back Chloe Haimson (2020). “Interactional Resistance During Black Lives Matter Protests: The Political Stakes of Rebelling Against the Public Order.” Mobilization: an International Quarterly Drawing from ethnographic research, this study examines how interactions between protesters and police unfold at Black Lives Matter demonstrations in two cities with distinct policing regimes. From an analysis of contentious moments during these local movement protests, I argue that protesters in both cities consciously resist the terms of engagement set by police in an effort to demonstrate their overarching opposition to police violence and racism, as well as demonstrate that communities can police themselves, while also seeking to avoid arrest or police violence. I call this protesters’ interactional resistance. This type of resistance is predicated on protesters pushing the boundaries of the rules of engagement with the police while using their structural knowledge of the situation and likely police responses. Interactional resistance bolsters claims by local Black Lives Matters protest movements that communities can be self-policing. In contrast with prior research on policing of protests, a focus on interactional resistance emphasizes the actions and decisions of protesters, not just the police. It also shows how protesters manage to enact resistance even when they are trying to avoid arrest. Further, I also show that police response to the same level of transgression varies depending on the local police control norms practiced in a specific place. Overall, these micro-interactions both point to and shape the structures of repression. < Back Chloe Haimson (2020). “Interactional Resistance During Black Lives Matter Protests: The Political Stakes of Rebelling Against the Public... http://chloehaimson.com/Home-Page Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:34:03 +0000 chloehaimson 332853 Chloe Haimson CV chloe_haimson@brown.edu I am Director of Research of the Justice Policy Lab @the Watson Institute for International & Public Affairs at Brown University. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Prison Education Program of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at New York University. I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2022. My research is at the intersection of prison reentry, punishment, race, and inequality. I investigate how people experience the reach of the criminal legal system, as well as how the system extends its reach and generates inequality beyond what we consider to be more standard modalities of control, namely incarceration.My dissertation project investigated the decisions parole agents make during their everyday work routines, how these choices influence the trajectories of individuals on parole after prison, and their consequences for the expansion of punishment in the U.S. I also study the rising role of algorithms in this process, as well as their implications for surveillance and the provision of prison reentry support. In other work, I have focused on the emergence of stigma in the comparative challenges facing people on parole and people who were exonerated of crimes after their incarceration. Additionally, I have written and collected ethnographic data about the policing of protests. My work is supported by the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Robert F. and Jean E.
