“…This population of women experiences high levels of infectious disease (Hammett and Drachman-Jones 2006; Nijhawan et al 2011), chronic health conditions (Binswanger et al 2010) and mental illness (Binswanger et al 2010; Cloyes et al 2010; Gunter et al 2008). Scholars have analyzed how incarceration may serve as a “public health opportunity” for marginalized populations, because health care can be provided in correctional facilities in a context where basic needs such as food and shelter are met (Beckwith et al 2010; Flanigan et al 2010; Glaser and Greifinger, 1993).…”

BackgroundMost women involved in the criminal justice system are not incarcerated, but rather on probation or parole. We examined the receipt of health services and social vulnerability among women on parole or probation in the past year.MethodsIn a community-based sample of 776 women who use crack cocaine or injection drugs, we compared those who had been on probation or parole in the past year with those who had no criminal justice involvement in the past year.ResultsWomen recently on probation or people were no more likely have health insurance, or to receive most health services, than women not in the criminal justice system. In addition, we found social vulnerabilities that contribute to poor health to be significantly more prevalent among women on probation or parole.ConclusionsThere is a missed opportunity to address health and social needs of women on probation or parole.

“…However, our study had an almost even 50/50 split between male and female individuals with little to no missing data. Thus, our findings suggesting women recidivate less than men offer a more robust evaluation of gender differences (Bergseth & Bouffard, 2012; Cloyes et al, 2010; Staton-Tindall et al, 2015; Yang et al, 2015). Gender also did not moderate the relationship between RJI timing and years to recidivism among the sub-sample of recidivists.…”

“…Literature evaluating gender differences on RJIs and recidivism outcomes is less robust due to samples primarily consisting of males or having large amounts of missing data (Latimer et al, 2005;Wallace et al, 2013). Related studies examining other interventions in criminal justice settings note females are generally less likely to recidivate or take longer to recidivate compared to males (Bergseth & Bouffard, 2012;Cloyes et al, 2010;Staton-Tindall et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2015). Given this pattern of related findings and lack of strong gender comparison groups in RJI studies delivered in prison settings, examining whether gender alters the relationship between RJI timing and recidivism may offer greater insight into whether RJI delivery requires tailoring for different prison populations.…”

Restorative justice seeks to balance the needs of the victim, offender, and community by repairing the harm caused by crime and wrongdoing and improving the prosocial competencies and accountability of the offender in response to an offense. Restorative justice interventions (RJIs) offer an alternative method to reduce harm and short- and long-term recidivism. However, empirical validation of mechanisms and moderating factors warrant additional inquiry within jail and prison settings. Thus, the authors sought to examine RJI delivery timing on recidivism outcomes with age and gender as moderators. A final sample of 1,316 individuals (49.8% female) incarcerated in several United States prisons received an RJI between 2001 and 2017. RJI timing did not relate to binary recidivism. However, women recidivated less than men and older individual recidivated less than younger individuals. For the subsample of reoffenders ( n = 283), RJIs delivered closer to release increased the amount of time before recidivism. Delivering RJIs closer to release from prison may allow for other community programs to intervene and reduce recidivism even further.

“…Similarly, consistent with prior health care research (Goldkuhle, 1999), being male was negatively and significantly associated with utilizing any type of vocational rehabilitation services. This result suggests that female incarcerated persons with a disability are more likely to utilize a number of vocational rehabilitation services, which may lead to more successful reentry and lower recidivism rates (Cloyes et al, 2010;Deschenes, 2007).…”

Examining Vocational Rehabilitation Services Provided to Incarcerated Persons With Disabilities

In the U.S. prison system, incarcerated persons with a disability represent a largely marginalized population with limited or inadequate provision of services in prison. In general, once released, ex-offenders face a number of challenges when they reenter society ranging from access to housing, employment, health care, and substance use services. These challenges are generally exacerbated for incarcerated persons with a disability. Overall, there is a dearth of research on rates of vocational services utilization among incarcerated persons with a disability. Using data from the Rehabilitation Services Administration for 30,170 inmates, the results indicate that inmates with cognitive and physical disabilities have the lowest utilization of vocational services overall and across all types of services (educational, job, disability, and other). Furthermore, vocational service utilization varies based on the nature of the disability suggesting distinct programming needs for each group. Implications for access to vocational rehabilitation services and current reentry programming for incarcerated persons with a disability are discussed.
