Abstract

Prison leavers encounter significant barriers to successfully re-integrating into the community, which can lead to re-offending. Complex interventions which are multi-faceted and involve successful partnerships are needed to meet the distinct health and social needs of this population group. For this study, we conducted a process evaluation of a pilot project, which aimed to offer holistic support to prison leavers through a combination of peer mentoring, sport and physical activity, and signposting, delivered in a community setting. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with individuals (n = 14) involved in the delivery and the management of the project to understand how it had been implemented and what factors had influenced the delivery and partnerships involved. Factors that influenced project delivery included safeguarding and risk assessment concerns, lived experience of peer mentors, accessibility of the intervention, and the role of sport and physical activity as a vehicle for community re-integration. Partnership working was influenced by effective information sharing, organizational commitment, building relationships and professional networks, and regular communication between organizations. An intervention involving peer mentoring, sport and physical activity, and signposting, supported by close partnership working, was viewed as a promising approach to support the community re-integration of prison leavers.

合作减少重新犯罪,改善离监人员的生活:对离监人员试点项目的过程评估。
刑满释放人员在成功重新融入社区时会遇到很大的障碍,这可能会导致他们重新犯罪。为了满足这一群体独特的健康和社会需求,我们需要采取多方面的复杂干预措施,并建立成功的合作伙伴关系。在这项研究中,我们对一个试点项目进行了过程评估,该项目旨在通过在社区环境中开展同伴辅导、体育运动和体育活动以及提供指导,为离监人员提供全面支持。我们对参与项目实施和管理的人员(n = 14)进行了半结构式访谈和焦点小组讨论,以了解项目的实施情况以及影响项目实施和合作关系的因素。影响项目实施的因素包括保障和风险评估问题、同伴辅导员的生活经验、干预措施的可及性,以及体育运动作为重新融入社区的载体的作用。影响伙伴关系工作的因素包括有效的信息共享、组织承诺、建立关系和专业网络以及组织间的定期沟通。在密切合作的支持下,一项涉及同伴指导、运动和体育锻炼、以及提供路标的干预措施被认为是支持刑满释放人员重新融入社区的一种很有前途的方法。
