The System Is Still Measuring the Wrong Thing
For decades, we've focused on individual reentry. This book explains why that approach fails — and what we should be measuring instead: household stability.
Reentry programs focus on individuals
The current system measures job placements, not household outcomes.
The 2Gen Economy focuses on households
Shift the unit of change from the individual to the household.
One creates a revolving door. The other creates generational prosperity.
The difference is what we measure — and what we build around.
What You'll Discover
Why Individual Employment Isn't Enough
Employment without household stability creates a revolving door.
How Household Stability Changes Everything
When we invest in two generations simultaneously, we create exponential impact.
The 2Gen Economy Blueprint Explained
The corrective architecture — what to measure, what to fund, what to build.
Real Strategies for Implementation
Evidence-based solutions that work for employers, funders, and policymakers.
Written from Lived Experience
Arrested at 16. Sentenced to prison in 1976. Twenty years incarcerated across two sentences. Two Boston University degrees earned inside. Released at 40.
Twenty-seven years later, Khalil Osiris has spent 50 years studying the criminal justice and workforce systems from both sides — and built the corrective architecture.
"I have studied this system from both sides of it."

The Book Introduces the 2Generation Economy Blueprint
The corrective architecture that changes what we measure, what we fund, what employers own, what workforce boards reward, and what policymakers call return on investment.
It shifts the unit of change from the individual to the household — coordinating workforce, housing, childcare, and education services across two generations.
