The Global War on Terror (GWOT) has changed the face of America's military service person. Traditionally, women have served in all capacities short of a direct combat role. The GWOT has taken a dramatic toll on our military men, women, and families. This descriptive sample examines 91 female veterans in U.S. correctional settings. Female veterans are examined as a unique subgroup of the general corrections population based upon veteran's status, gender, military experiences, and service-related injuries coupled by penal treatment needs, pre-release planning, and services. The findings suggest that solutions to female veteran offenders need to address multiple psychosocial problems and risk factors. Preventative measures, like outreach, promote pro-social behavior, reduce recidivism, increase service utilization, and enhance community reintegration
