Title of Talk: The Spillover Effects of Mass Incarceration. 

There are nearly 2 million people incarcerated in the United States on any given day. Nearly all incarcerated individuals are eventually released, and primarily return to their communities of origin. Most incarcerated people come from high-poverty communities of color, and the sociological literature suggests that high incarceration rates make conditions in disadvantaged neighborhoods worse. In this talk, I will present findings on life expectancy and race-specific premature mortality in high incarceration neighborhoods in New York.
