当囚犯返回社区时，他们往往努力争取立即就业。然而，出狱后找工作是返回囚犯面临的主要挑战之一。由于法律的限制、未来雇主的歧视以及个人和社区的多重障碍，罪犯的就业前景渺茫，他们往往最终接受了几乎没有成长机会的低技能工作。这项定性研究探讨了居住在社区矫正工作释放设施的妇女的求职过程。研究人员确定了获得就业的几个障碍，以及促进这一过程的许多因素。帮助的来源，类型的工作保障，并与耻辱和歧视的经验进行了讨论。改善这一人群的求职过程的影响进行了讨论。
When prisoners return to the community they often strive to obtain immediate employment. However, finding work after being released from prison is one of the major challenges returning prisoners face. With few employment prospects due to legal restrictions, discrimination from prospective employers, and multiple individual and community barriers offenders often end up accepting lowskilled work with little opportunity for growth. This qualitative study examines the job searching process for women residing in a community correction workrelease facility. The researcher identified several barriers to securing employment, as well as many factors that facilitated the process. Sources of help, types of jobs secured, and experiences with stigma and discrimination are discussed. Implications for improving the job searching process for this population are discussed.
