Handbook on Lived Experience in the Justice System
Children of Mothers in Jail
The perceptions of 145 incarcerated mothers of minor children in a large Midwestern jail were examined to understand the correlation between where their children are living during their incarceration and the mothers’ feelings about these placements and relationships with their children. Mothers were most satisfied if children lived with maternal grandparents, and least satisfied if children were in foster care. Women with higher scores for the re…
Emerging adults in drug treatment court
We compared emerging adults with older adults who were admitted to the Drug Treatment Court (DTC) in a large Midwestern county. Emerging adults were more likely to be lower risk and to be opioid/heroin users. Compared to older adults, emerging adults were more likely to have increased violations in the DTC program. Emerging adults compared to older adults were more likely to be terminated than to graduate with no recidivism (odds ratio 1.83), and…
The Persistent Impact of Childhood Trauma
The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between childhood trauma and current mental health status of 110 women incarcerated in a Midwestern jail. The K6 distress scale was used to assess current mental health status. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) scale was utilized to measure traumatic events occurring in childhood. The percentage of women identified as having serious psychological distress exceeded rates found in …
Incarcerated Mothers of Minor Children
Mothers of minor children serving sentences in a large Midwestern jail were screened for potential substance use problems and asked to report their physical and mental health status and treatment experiences. Of mothers screened for substance use problems, 72.1% had positive findings on the AUDIT-12, 56.7% reported at least one serious physical health problem, and 67.1% had received mental health treatment. More than two-thirds (68.8%) of the 240…

Wounded healers
This mixed methods study explores the role that being a helper/wounded healer has for formerly incarcerated women. Regression analyses examining the influence of a helper/wounded healer orientation on self-esteem and social support are triangulated with in-depth responses to probes regarding the benefits of helping others among a purposive sample of previously incarcerated women. Results reveal that helping others benefits the helper by boosting …
Helping Others as a Response to Reconcile a Criminal Past
Anecdotal evidence suggests that many of the staff members working for prisoner reentry programs are formerly incarcerated persons. Moreover, criminologists have written that the strengths-based role of the “wounded healer” or “professional ex-” is exemplified by released prisoners who desist from a deviant career by replacing it with an occupation as a paraprofessional, lay therapist, or counselor. Despite these observations, there is a paucity …
Drug Courts
The first drug court was launched in Dade County, Florida, in 1989, and there are now close to 2,500 such courts across the United States (Huddleston & Marlowe, 2011). A drug court is a specific co
Invisible Stripes? Formerly Incarcerated Persons' Perceptions of Stigma
A social psychological approach is used to examine stigma from the perspective of formerly incarcerated persons. Three scales were constructed to assess 229 formerly incarcerated persons' perceptions of stigma toward former prisoners as a group, themselves personally, and actual rejection experiences. Results indicate that perceiving more stigma is related to having multiple parole violations, identifying more strongly with other former prisoners…
Implementing Substance Abuse Screening and Brief Motivational Intervention With Women in Jail
This article presents a social work in-reach model for identifying women's substance abuse service needs while in jail and increasing their motivation and abilities to obtain services on reentry to the community. The authors describe important aspects of the Women and Jails Project and its development that can help inform social work practice in this area. Data are reported on the first 1,091 women participating in the project. Specific issues an…
The `Chicken and Egg' of Subjective and Social Factors in Desistance from Crime
It is now widely acknowledged that progression from persistent offending to desistance from crime is the outcome of a complex interaction between subjective/ agency factors and social/environmental factors. A methodological challenge for desistance researchers is to unravel the differential impacts of these internal and external factors and the sequence in which they come into play. Towards this, the present investigation draws on a prospective s…
Perceptions of and Responses to Stigma
In the last 10 years, interest in the concept of stigma has grown remarkably throughout the social sciences. Today, stigma is an important topic that bridges many disciplines, including sociology, psychology, social psychology, and public health. This literature review primarily addresses perceptions of and responses to stigma from the insider's or target's perspective. The topics examined in this review include the following: defining stigma, pu…
Pygmalion in the reintegration process
The study of desistance from crime has come of age in recent years, and there are now several, competing theories to account for the ability of long-term offenders to abstain from criminal behavior. Most prominently, recent explanations have borrowed elements from informal social control theory, differential association theory and cognitive psychology. In the following, we argue that labeling theory may be a neglected factor in understanding the …
