This brief published by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) summarizes information about women and reentry.
This publication of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) provides bullet points about women and reentry based on available data and research. These points are that (1) one in 138 women was under correctional supervision — in prison, jail, or on community supervision — at year-end 2021, but little is known about their characteristics on a national scale; (2) compared to men, women have distinct trajectories into the criminal justice system; (3) gender-responsive programming shows promising results for women reentering society; (4) programming that addresses substance use, mental health, or co-occurring disorders before, during, and after supervision can be especially helpful for women; and (5) culturally responsive strategies for reentry programming may enhance success for justice-involved females. The publication also provides a table of “Women’s Reentry Programs Rated Promising on CrimeSolutions,” including Forever Free, Gender-Specific Drug Treatment Court, Moving On, and “Seeking Safety” for Incarcerated Women.
