520    A former parole officer shines a bright light on a huge 
       yet hidden part of our justice system through the 
       intertwining stories of seven parolees striving to survive
       the chaos that awaits them after prison in this 
       illuminating and dramatic book.  Prompted by a dead-end 
       retail job and a vague desire to increase the amount of 
       justice in his hometown, Jason Hardy became a parole 
       officer in New Orleans at the worst possible moment. 
       Louisiana's incarceration rates were the highest in the US
       and his department's caseload had just been increased to 
       220 'offenders' per parole officer, whereas the national 
       average is around 100. Almost immediately, he discovered 
       that the biggest problem with our prison system is what we
       do-and don't do-when people get out of prison.  Deprived 
       of social support and jobs, these former convicts are 
       often worse off than when they first entered prison and 
       Hardy dramatizes their dilemmas with empathy and grace. 
       He's given unique access to their lives and a growing 
       recognition of their struggles and takes on his job with 
       the hope that he can change people's fates-but he quickly 
       learns otherwise. The best Hardy and his colleagues can do
       is watch out for impending disaster and help clean up the 
       mess left behind. But he finds that some of his charges 
       can muster the miraculous power to save themselves. By 
       following these heroes, he both stokes our hope and fuels 
       our outrage by showing us how most offenders, even those 
       with the best intentions, end up back in prison-or dead-
       because the system systematically fails them. Our focus 
       should be, he argues, to give offenders the tools they 
       need to re-enter society which is not only humane but also
       vastly cheaper for taxpayers.  As immersive and dramatic 
       as Evicted and as revelatory as The New Jim Crow, The 
       Second Chance Club shows us how to solve the cruelest 
       problems prisons create for offenders and society at 
       large.
