Abstract
Entrepreneurship is increasingly seen as a creative solution for individuals after they have been released from prison given the difficulties they face in finding viable employment. However, considering that entrepreneurship inherently involves maneuvering around and overcoming obstacles, it is likely an even more complicated endeavor for these individuals. A thick problem description of entrepreneurship after prison is needed to better understand the unique challenges associated with this unconventional entrepreneurial journey. Drawing on the existing literature coupled with semistructured interviews with five individuals who started businesses after being incarcerated, we utilize an empathy mapping tool to explicate our findings. We then outline key insights and offer recommendations on how to move forward.
