What happens to long-term employees when their jobs are unexpectedly eliminated? In this detailed study of a major lay-off and its consequences, the authors examine the ramifications of job loss for older worker. The book follows the experiences of 173 factory workers from their first thoughts on being forced out of work to reflections several years later. Retraining, age discrimination, and the occasional benefits of job loss are among the issues considered. The chapters are: What it means to lose a job; Downsizing at United Defense; Meet the men from United Defense; Forced out: first thoughts; The financial costs of termination; The unemployed; Older workers in the job hunt; Is self-employment viable?; Retiring from the work world; On the positive side of job loss; Years later: reflections on job loss; Workforce policy and programs: a better way to ease job transitions; Appendix 1: methodology; Appendix 2: questionnaires.

Caught Up follows the lives of 50 Latina girls in “El Valle” Juvenile Detention Center and “Legacy” community school located 40 miles outside of Los Angeles, CA. Their path through these two institutions reveals the accelerated fusion of California schools and institutions of confinement. For example, the connection between both of these sites is a concerted effort between Legacy Community School and El Valle administrators to provide young people with wraparound services. These well-intentioned services are designed to provide youth with support at home, at school and in the actual detention center. However, I argue that wraparound services more closely resemble a phenomenon that I call wraparound incarceration, where students cannot escape the surveillance of formal detention despite leaving the actual detention center. For young people in Legacy School, returning to El Valle became an unavoidable consequence of wraparound services.
