Beneath the Bond: Unraveling Secrets in Andrew Miller’s My Guys
***
A neighbor in Maine bought a Havahart trap for his garden.
“How’s the trapping?” I asked.
“Going well,” he said, “except for that skunk.”
People expect the worst when they imagine a skunk in a Havahart trap. But I have never had one spray when captured and transported.
“What was the problem?”
“Took the damn thing two weeks to die. Thought I would have to shoot it, but then he’d stink up the yard.”

Each year in America 600,000 men and women leave jail or prison and reenter society. Once released, they take adult education classes, return to school, find work in the private sector or a government agency, or start their own business. They renew old relationships and start new ones. They may live in your neighborhood; their children may play with your children. You pass them on the street, in a grocery store, or at the fitness center.
