(scientific Article, scientific study)

Περίληψη

The study examines mechanisms (i.e., family connectedness, post-release planning) by which contact with family during incarceration may impact post-release functioning (i.e., recidivism, substance misuse, mental illness, community functioning).

Μαθησιακοί Στόχοι

Maintaining contact with the  family during incarceration can facilitate more psychologically healthy adjustment during the stressful process of re-entering society. Furthermore, incarcerated individuals should be encouraged to make plans for post-release while still incarcerated either independently or in collaboration with family.
