About this item

Flores Forbes, a former leader in the Black Panther Party, has been free from prison for twenty-five years. Unfortunately that makes him part of a group of black men without constituency who are all but invisible in society. That is, the "invisible" group of black men in America who have served their time and not gone back to prison.Today the recidivism rate is around 65%. Almost never mentioned in the media or scholarly attention is the plight of the 35% who don't go back, especially black men. A few of them are hiding in Ivy League schools' prison education programs - they don't want to be known - but most of them are recruited by the one billion dollar industry reentry employee programs that allow the US to profit from their life and labor.
