Description
|
This is the third in a series of reports on
the evaluation of the Scottish Prison Service Transitional Care
arrangements. The first report provided information about the Transitional
Care service and described the views of staff providing the service.
The second report presented early results of 4 month post-release
interviews with ex-prisoners who had initially agreed to take up
the offer of Transitional Care. This third report presents the results
from a larger sample of ex-prisoners interviewed 4 months post-release
and the early results from ex-prisoners surveyed 7 months post-release.
It is important to point out, however, that these findings are based
on small numbers. Further, the data has not yet been linked to other
contextual data and so does not differentiate between sub-categories
of respondent (e.g. in terms of previous level of substance use,
age, sex, length of sentence etc). The final report will be published
in the Autumn of 2005.
