Abstract

ABSTRACT Rapidly escalating incarceration rates for female offenders create a crisis not only for offenders, but also for an estimated 1.3 million children each year, who depend on these women for care. Offenders being released back into their communities often face staggering obstacles, including poverty, unemployment, inadequate housing, untreated health mental health, and substance abuse problems, and numerous family problems. High recidivism rates and concerns for the next generation have prompted some communities to focus on assisting female offenders through the transition process. One innovative effort in Central Indiana involves the provision of strengths-based Wraparound services to women and their families starting during late stages of incarceration, and continuing through the transition and stabilization in the community. The Women's Transition Project Care Coordination program is anticipated to facilitate female offenders' re-integration into their communities, promote family reunification, and lower recidivism rates.
让家庭团聚,打破恶性循环
女性罪犯监禁率的迅速上升不仅给罪犯带来了危机,也给每年大约130万依赖这些女性照顾的儿童带来了危机。被释放回社区的罪犯往往面临惊人的障碍,包括贫穷、失业、住房不足、健康得不到治疗、精神健康和药物滥用问题以及许多家庭问题。高累犯率和对下一代的担忧促使一些社区把重点放在帮助女性罪犯完成过渡过程上。印第安纳州中部的一项创新工作涉及为妇女及其家庭提供基于优势的全方位服务,从监禁后期开始,一直持续到社区的过渡和稳定。妇女过渡项目护理协调方案预计将促进女性罪犯重新融入社区,促进家庭团聚,并降低累犯率。
