Tietjen\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the 1990s, the community of scholar-activists who have had contact with the criminal legal system has grown rapidly, solidifying into an international movement. Drawing on in-depth conversations with system-affected academics as well as his own experience with incarceration, Grant E. Tietjen traces the history, positive impacts, and future promise of this movement. By offering networks of support to system-affected people seeking higher education and using the perspectives afforded them by their lived experiences to push their disciplines forward, the movement effects reciprocal changes between the individual and the entire institution of higher education. These changes, Tietjen argues, ripple outward and stand to contribute to the wider movement against carceral responses to harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis well-researched and well-written book examines the careers of scholars affected by the criminal justice system.

There's plenty of both in \u003ci\u003eJustice Lessons, \u003c\/i\u003e and by including diverse criminological insights from other academics with experience of the criminal legal system, Tietjen adds generosity.
