People who have served time in jail or prison are less likely to have bank accounts after they are released than they were before serving time, which may hinder their long-term financial security, according to new research. "Locked out of banking: The limits of financial inclusion for formerly incarcerated individuals" was co-authored by Brielle Bryan, an assistant professor of sociology at Rice.
