Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science, Miami University, Family and Child Studies.
This qualitative study explored and promoted the understanding of factors that female formerly incarcerated citizen’s experience and associate as significant challenges to successful family and community reintegration. This study focused on the issues that were identified in the literature; housing, employment, and supportive services as the keys to successful reentry. Unlike many previous reentry studies, this study focused exclusively on the experiences of females. Emergence of additional and/or alternative themes were identified including the importance of pre-release and post release programming and the significance of mentoring and other relationships upon successful reentry and reintegration. The experience of seven females and the barriers that impacted their reentry back into the southwestern Ohio community after their incarceration was the focus. The paper also presents limitations for this study and findings for future research and application.
