In the era of mass incarceration, millions of American citizens have been disenfranchised by the social stigma of a felony conviction. Mentorship of formerly incarcerated (FI) students by FI academics—many of whom identify with Convict Criminology (CC)—is slowly forging a pathway out of the social wasteland of past felony convictions. A common goal of CC is to help FI students and academics overcome the social and structural barriers that severely limit their life chances, as well as those of millions of FI citizens in the world’s largest prison system. In this article, three FI criminology faculty members focus on the vital importance of mentorship presented through individual autoethnographic writings. We emphasize four prominent narratives or themes: (1) common narratives of the role of mentorship: encouragement, inclusion, and social capital; (2) differing narratives of the role of mentorship; (3) common narratives of the role of mentorship: experiences of mentoring as activism and advocacy; and (4) common narratives of the role of mentorship in reducing professional fragility. We also consider other dynamics that might emerge in the mentor–mentee relationship involving FI individuals, including the complexities of “coming out” as FI and the fragility of FI identity in the academic world. We conclude with recommendations for future research on the role of mentorship for FI individuals and make suggestions for other areas of study for CC, more generally.

向前和向上:对前被监禁的学生和学者进行指导的意义

在大规模监禁的时代,数百万美国公民因重罪定罪的社会耻辱而被剥夺了公民权。FI 学者对以前被监禁 (FI) 的学生的指导——其中许多人认同罪犯犯罪学 (CC)——正在慢慢地走出过去重罪定罪的社会荒地。CC 的一个共同目标是帮助 FI 学生和学者克服严重限制他们以及世界上最大监狱系统中数百万 FI 公民生活机会的社会和结构性障碍。在这篇文章中,三名 FI 犯罪学教职员工重点关注通过个人自我民族志著作所呈现的指导的至关重要性。我们强调四个突出的叙述或主题:(1)指导作用的共同叙述:鼓励、包容和社会资本;(2) 对导师作用的不同叙述;(3) 指导作用的常见叙述:指导作为行动主义和倡导的经验;(4) 关于指导在降低职业脆弱性方面的作用的常见叙述。我们还考虑了可能出现在涉及 FI 个人的导师-学员关系中的其他动态,包括作为 FI “出柜”的复杂性以及 FI 身份在学术界的脆弱性。最后,我们对未来研究指导 FI 个人的作用提出建议,并为 CC 的其他研究领域提出建议,更一般地说。(4) 关于指导在降低职业脆弱性方面的作用的常见叙述。我们还考虑了可能出现在涉及 FI 个人的导师-学员关系中的其他动态,包括作为 FI “出柜”的复杂性以及 FI 身份在学术界的脆弱性。最后,我们对未来研究指导 FI 个人的作用提出建议,并为 CC 的其他研究领域提出建议,更一般地说。(4) 关于指导在降低职业脆弱性方面的作用的常见叙述。我们还考虑了可能出现在涉及 FI 个人的导师-学员关系中的其他动态,包括作为 FI “出柜”的复杂性以及 FI 身份在学术界的脆弱性。最后,我们对未来研究指导 FI 个人的作用提出建议,并为 CC 的其他研究领域提出建议,更一般地说。
