Abstract Currently, the population of older adults is growing at a rapid rate. The number of older adults in America is similarly represented in the justice system with the number of older adults aged 56 and older accounting for 11.8 percent of the total federal prison population. Older adults in the criminal justice system are at heightened risk for poor health, mental illness, and accelerated aging. For those exiting the carceral system, many older adults may not have community connections to aid in re-entry. Social service providers and community agencies that are tasked with advocating for marginalized populations, empowering clients, and addressing psychosocial problems of older adults, may be uniquely helpful in the re-entry process. Guided by ecological systems theory, this article presents the eco-map tool for social service professionals (e.g., social workers, probation officers) to use in tandem with eco-systems perspective. Using this tool in collaboration with older adult clients may assist with re-entry. Furthermore, social service providers can use this to navigate complex relationships within the community and society at large. Finally, the use of this tool may assist with facilitating comprehensive support and wrap-around services for older adults.

Abstract Many of the women currently incarcerated in state prisons are mothers. They have similar programming needs as other women in prison, including education, work, counseling, and drug treatment, yet they also have unique needs associated with their motherhood roles and the relationships they have with their children. Utilizing in-depth interviews with incarcerated mothers, this paper examines the program participation and program needs of these women. Specifically, we explore the perceived helpfulness of available programming and discuss programs the participants feel they need but are not receiving. Our findings suggest that incarcerated mothers identify programming as helpful to them and in their role as mothers that includes traditional parenting programs and programs that focus on substance abuse, mental health, trauma and abuse, life skills, and religious services. Incarcerated mothers in the current study apply knowledge and skills learned in other programming areas such as substance abuse programs and anger management to their parenting experiences, even when these programs do not specifically target their parenting roles. The implications for programming include understanding the ways that non-parenting programs might recognize and incorporate issues involving families and children in their approaches to treatment and programming.

Abstract Parent education for incarcerated parents can be an important support for families and may increase father involvement. Devoted Dads, a 12-week parenting program, was implemented in three state correctional facilities. Program topics included parent-child relationships, family dynamics, coparenting, and communication. The goal of the program was to equip incarcerated fathers with resources to positively engage with their children and coparents. Participants completed pre- and post-surveys for the program as well as evaluations for each session. Analysis results showed positive participant experience of the program as well as improvements in fathers’ reports of their own parenting experience and their relationship with co-caregivers. Pre-post changes in parenting knowledge and skills measures and prison-related stress areas were significantly different when fathers had preschool age children compared to those who only have school aged, teen, and/or adult children.

Abstract Mixed methods were used to assess recidivism and program fidelity in a prison-based therapeutic community (TC). Propensity score matching on demographic, general risk, and substance dependency ratings resulted in 83 TC participants being compared with 104 inmates on recidivism. Scales were used to rank TC use of community, feedback, confrontation, and other areas by a purposeful sample of senior TC inmates (n = 20), In addition, qualitative open-ended interview questions on TC programming features, quality, and operation were asked of the 20 TC inmates and TC staff (n = 14). General and violent recidivism were less for the TC group. Inmate scale ratings confirmed the presence of key TC features, as did open-ended responses.

Abstract Incarceration should allow inmates an opportunity for rehabilitation and correcting their criminal thinking and inappropriate behavior that contributed to their imprisonment. The current study gathered data from a Prison Culture Questionnaire administered to inmates from a state correctional system. The analysis examined inmates’ perceptions of treatment staff who were employed in the prison. This was an exploratory analysis. Overall, responses to Likert-scale items revealed that inmates believed treatment staff were fair, polite, respectful, helpful, good communicators, interested in listening to their concerns, understood living in prison was stressful, and had a good working relationship with them; however, they were undecided about whether treatment staff showed compassion, could reduce conflict, enforced rules consistently, were good role models, explained their decision making, cared about the impact of their behavior, or valued inmates as human beings. Also, findings from a content analysis revealed five broad themes about inmates’ experiences and interactions with treatment staff (competent professionals, critical and inappropriate, respectful, minimal contact, and hybrid/mixed responses). Responses provided by male and female inmates about their experiences and interactions with treatment staff were similar; however, several gender-specific findings were uncovered. A narrative compiling the most comprehensive inmate responses is shown.

Abstract Social capital can help formerly incarcerated individuals navigate the challenges of life after prison. Yet, these individuals are unlikely to receive the trust from others that is necessary to build the relationships from which social capital and social support flow. To date, little research has examined individuals’ willingness to extend trust and provide social support to those who are reentering society. To help fill this void, two independent factorial vignette studies were conducted using university-based samples. Study 1 tested the effect of prior incarceration on participants’ willingness to trust. Study 2 examined whether participants provided more social support to recently incarcerated kin as opposed to recently incarcerated friends. Findings from both studies highlight some of the disadvantages formerly incarcerated individuals face when reentering society.

Abstract We employed a quasi-experimental design to assess the effect of participation in Bridges to Life (BTL), a restorative justice program, on reincarceration. Drawing from Texas Department of Criminal Justice data, we used propensity scores to match a sample of 296 participants with a comparison non-participant group of 296 parolees. We compared reincarceration rates after 1 and 3.5 years. Results generally support the proposition that parolees who participated in BTL had lower rates of reincarceration. Restorative justice-based programs seem to work for reducing reincarceration rates among parolees and this reduction effect is found for both overall crime and violent crime.

Abstract Although research suggests that the d/Deaf individuals are overrepresented among forensic populations and unique challenges arise when working with such clients, there is a relative dearth of research examining the forensic assessment and treatment of d/Deaf individuals. Because the barriers and challenges faced by d/Deaf persons can lead to diminished efficacy of standard methods of forensic assessment and treatment, this paper aims to summarize the extant literature and highlight the implications and considerations for delivery of services as per the risk-need-responsivity model. Research findings suggest that special attention should be paid to issues surrounding language and literacy and appropriate accommodations made to ensure that d/Deaf individuals are not excluded from programming which addresses mental health and risk-relevant concerns. Recommendations to improve delivery of forensic assessment and treatment services to d/Deaf clients are provided.

Abstract Having access to housing is considered a vital but also highly problematic aspect of ex-offenders’ reintegration process. To overcome the existing difficulties, Dutch ex-offenders are advised to apply for a so-called “certificate of housing urgency,” granting persons with urgent housing needs priority over others seeking affordable (social) housing. Using a holistic multimethod approach, this paper determines whether priority housing does indeed have the potential of becoming (part of) the solution to ex-offenders’ housing problems by examining the (implementation of) priority housing regulations in 45 Dutch municipalities. The study reveals that most regulations do not explicitly include or exclude ex-prisoners from receiving priority status. Whether an ex-offender qualifies for a priority status consequently often depends on decision-makers’ interpretation of the regulations. Interviews conducted with these decision-makers and analyzed in light of Michael Lipsky’s theory on street-level bureaucrats reveal that most enjoy a significant margin of discretion when assessing applications. As a result, ex-offenders’ chances of successfully obtaining a priority status primarily depend on the individual street-level bureaucrats’ style of rule application. It is concluded that whereas the Dutch priority housing system allows for tailored solutions to individual housing problems it offers little legal certainty to returning ex-offenders.

Abstract Securing meaningful employment following incarceration has proven to be difficult for all individuals but disproportionately affects individuals with disabilities. Despite this knowledge, less research is focused on examining how various aspects of functioning impact specific behaviors related to career development. Utilizing a survey of 61 individuals, all of whom self-reported as having disabilities and prior criminal justice involvement, the current study investigated the relationship between individual functioning and career development variables. Results from this study can better inform reentry and rehabilitation professionals on how to provide support to individuals with disabilities and criminal backgrounds in gaining meaningful employment upon release.
