尽管有大量文献记载了女囚犯面临的重返社会挑战,但很少有此类研究关注出狱妇女。“窗口研究”调查了与从拘留所释放后获得稳定住房的感觉有关的因素。从2005年1月21日至3月17日,对巴尔的摩市拘留中心的女性被拘留者进行了随机抽样(n=148)的匿名调查。访谈的重点是社会人口背景,健康状况,最近的药物使用和性行为史,以及释放后的物质和社会资源的可用性。女性被拘留者的中位年龄为37岁(四分位距[IQR]:29,41),69%为非洲裔美国人,33%被确定为女同性恋或双性恋。被捕前30天的收入中位数为145美元(IQR:0,559),被捕次数中位数为5次(IQR:3,11)。在存在其他变量的情况下,(调整后的比值比[AOR] 2.57; 95%置信区间[CI] 1.21,5.47)和月收入400 -799美元(AOR 3.18; 95% CI 1.00,10.07)与释放时感知的外壳稳定性呈正相关;希望有一个支持小组,以换取金钱,毒品或住宿的地方(AOR 0.25; 95% CI 0.10,0.63)与释放后感知的住房稳定性显着负相关。这项研究表明,释放前规划和对女性被拘留者的持续照顾非常重要。干预措施应强调获得住房、经济机会和家庭团聚。需要特别关注那些从事性工作的人,他们可能被家庭和基于服务的支助网络边缘化。
Despite extensive documentation of the reentry challenges facing female prisoners, few such studies have focused on women exiting jails. The Window Study investigated factors associated with the perceived availability of stable housing upon release from detention. Anonymous surveys were conducted with a random sample (n=148) of female detainees at the Baltimore City Detention Center from January 21 to March 17, 2005. Interviews focused on socio-demographic background, health status, recent drug use and sexual behavior history, and material and social resource availability upon release. The median age of female detainees was 37 (interquartile range [IQR]: 29, 41), 69% were African-American, and 33% identified as lesbian or bisexual. The median income in the 30 days prior to arrest was $145 (IQR: 0, 559), and the median number of prior arrests was 5 (IQR: 3, 11). In the presence of other variables familial support (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 2.57; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.21, 5.47) and a monthly income of $400–799 (AOR 3.18; 95% CI 1.00, 10.07) were positively associated with perceived housing stability upon release; wanting a support group for having traded sex for money, drugs or a place to stay (AOR 0.25; 95% CI 0.10, 0.63) was significantly negatively associated with perceived housing stability upon release. This study suggests the importance of pre-release planning and continuity of care for female detainees. Interventions should emphasize access to housing, economic opportunity and family reunification. Special attention is warranted to those who have engaged in sex work, who may be marginalized from family and service-based support networks.
