The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has been identified as a mainstream institution to help prevent homelessness among America's veterans. The large numbers of incarcerated veterans with serious mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders who are at risk for homelessness support the need for expanded VA outreach to this population. Since 2002, the VA has contacted almost 6,500 veterans in prison or jail. Its leadership role in affording comprehensive health, mental health, social resources, corrections outreach, and current policy and planning strategies positions the VA to provide system wide service to veterans leaving correctional institutions. As this VA outreach program proceeds, examining the links among program assumptions, veteran needs and outcomes, and existing evaluation processes can help to maintain focus on homelessness prevention strategies.

“…Veruit de meeste van deze onderzoeken hebben echter een crosssectioneel design, waarin gedetineerden alleen worden gevraagd naar hun huisvestingssituatie voor detentie en/of hun verwachtingen over de situatie na detentie (Dyb, 2009;Kirkwood & Richley, 2008;Williams e.a., 2012 Carlisle, 1996). Ook blijkt uit deze studies dat daklozen die gedetineerd worden na detentie vaak nog steeds geen vaste woon-of verblijfplaats hebben (Baldry e.a., 2006;Visher e.a., 2004;Metraux & Culhane, 2004). In Nederland is de afgelopen decennia ook een aantal longitudinale studies verricht naar de woonsituatie van gedetineerden voor, tijdens en na detentie.…”

“…For example, case management for homeless people decreased homeless people's psychiatric symptoms [31] and emergency-department visits [32]. A temporary house with case management increased their stay in a stable housing, especially for those needs regular medical care, although a house without case management was not effective [33,34]. A temporary house with case management also facilitates recipients' pro-social networks.…”

Harsh sentences have resulted in many prisoners being elderly at the time of their release. However, the longer individuals have been incarcerated and the older they are, the more difficult it may be for them to re-enter free society. We developed a reintegration program to promote their successful adjustment to society and to prevent their reoffending, and evaluated its effectiveness. Participants were 25 older prisoners in Japan; all were homeless and more than 65 years old. Ten participants voluntarily participated in the reintegration programs, while the other 15 participants rejected participation in the programs. The programs provided a temporary residence, money, and job support in a community where they desired to live. Participants involved with the reintegration programs had not reoffended at 252 days, while 37.5% of those not involved in the programs reoffended. The two groups did not significantly differ in age, health status, educational level, and total length of sentence. Reintegration of older prisoners into society is more effective when done in the context of a prevention program and welfare support. Aging prison people in Japan explosively increased in a quarter of a century. The population in custody over 65 years-old increased 371% between 1986 and 2012, even though the total population in custody decreased 28% [6]. The explosive increase in the Japanese aging prison population can be explained by their high recidivism rates. In contrast to western countries, such as the United States [7,8] and Sweden [9], around half (47%) of released prisoners over 65 years-old reoffended within one year after their release, whereas only 22% of those between 25 and 29 years-old reoffended [10].
