Sociologist Reuben Miller: Incarceration Creates a “Pariah Class” | Amanpour and Company

Reuben Miller, a former chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago, is also a sociologist, criminologist, and social worker. His new book "Halfway Home" exposes the reality of life after mass incarceration and shows that some people are never truly free, even after leaving prison. In a conversation that is part of "Chasing the Dream," our ongoing initiative about poverty, jobs, and economic opportunity in America, Michel Martin speaks with Miller about the book and Miller’s own personal experience with America’s prison system.

Originally aired on February 25, 2021
