From the Cot to the Couch? Young Adult Incarceration and Returns to the Parental Household Presented: Montreal, QC, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2017 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Incarceration/Jail; Residence, Return to Parental Home/Delayed Homeleaving Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A growing body of research has examined the effect of incarceration on housing and residential outcomes. The results of this work paint a complicated picture; where housing insecurities are common, in some cases helpful, and in other cases a risk factor for recidivism. The current study adds to this literature by focusing on residential independence following release from incarceration. In response to growing shares of young adults living in the parental home, researchers have begun to investigate the causes and consequences of residential independence and later returns home (or boomeranging). Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 Cohort, and utilizing event history data that provides the month and year of key life events, I find that exiting prison or jail increases the risk of moving back into the parental home. In addition, the risk of boomeranging is highest in the months and years closest to the release date. I close by considering the implications of these findings, especially given that residence with parents after release may be protective against recidivism. |
