“…Finally, women also note that gaining access to medical services for illness, mental health medication, or other ailments can be a barrier to their successful reintegration into the community (Richie, 2001). These problems highlight the importance of positive and helpful parole officers or other criminal justice personnel in women's successful reentry (Bui & Morash, 2010;Cobbina, 2010).…”

The authors review evidence of gender-responsive factors for women in prisons. Some gender-responsive needs function as risk factors in prison settings and contribute to women's maladjustment to prison; guided by these findings, the authors outline ways in which prison management, staff members, and programming can better serve female prisoners by being more gender informed. The authors suggest that prisons provide treatment and programming services aimed at reducing women's criminogenic need factors, use gendered assessments to place women into appropriate interventions and to appropriately plan for women's successful reentry into the community, and train staff members to be gender responsive.

“…Incarceration represents one of the most extreme shocks to the web of social affiliations that people accumulate over their lifetimes. Prisons are total institutions that instantaneously disconnect inmates from their network members who remain in the community, with some relationships never recovering (Bui and Morash 2010; Lopoo and Western 2005; Volker et al 2016). Though visitation and other communications (e.g., phone calls and mail) are possible, such modes are unsuitable for addressing day-to-day needs for companionship, support, and material resources that friends inside prison can provide (Bronson 2008).…”

“…Supporting this idea, four studies (Bui & Morash, 2010;Cobbina, 2010;Morash, 2010;Skeem, Eno Louden, Manchak, Vidal, & Haddad, 2009) in different states found that parole agents constitute important members of social networks for many women offenders. Yet another study (Bloom, Owen, Covington, & Raeder, 2003) found that, compared to men, women on parole were especially likely to be open about their needs, put more value on their relationships with parole agents, and develop more trusting relationships with them.…”

Guided by control theory, this study examines memorable messages that women on probation and parole receive from their probation and parole agents. Women interviewed for the study were asked to report a memorable message they received from an agent, and to describe situations if/when the message came to mind in three contexts likely to emerge from a control theory perspective: when they did something of which they were proud, when they stopped themselves from doing something they would later regret, and when they did something of which they were not proud. The types of memorable messages and the reactions to these messages within the three contexts were coded, and differences between women on probation versus parole were examined. Overall, a greater proportion of women on parole recalled memorable messages, and the most frequently reported type of memorable message was behavioral advice. Women reported that the message helped them do things of which they were proud, such as engaging in routine activities and fulfilling goals; helped them to not give into urges that could lead to further negative sanctions or feelings of regret; and came to mind when they relapsed. Practical implications of the findings for training are presented. ARTICLE HISTORY
