The recovered female ex-offenders

Abstract

Recovery for ex-offenders is currently one of the major issues in the criminal justice, health care and social services providers, especially for the drug use offenders, promoting a successful recovery is an ongoing concern in efforts to reduce recidivism [1]. Especially for the female, they are the fastest-growing population in the criminal justice system, and jails reach more people than any other component of the correctional system. In addition to stopping drug use, the goal of recovery is to return people to productive functioning in the family, workplace, and community as well as to maintain a normal lifestyle and social contacts. Many of ex-offenders struggled with the dynamic process of the ultimate goal of community recovery that is a long-term journey [2] and would have experienced several challenges.
