- 요약Returning to the community after incarceration is characterized by many barriers that make reentry more difficult. With scant programing and resources available to women leaving prison, research routinely finds previously incarcerated women rely heavily on family and friends to help them get back on their feet. Of note, research has yet to examine how the nuances of social connections impact if and how women leverage social support. This dissertation explores how the varied facets of women's social relationships impact reentry through 20 in-depth interviews focusing on three key factors: type of relationship, relationship complexity, and life stage. I first investigate which social relationships provide the most social support to women and whom women are most likely to seek support from across their formal and informal social networks. Findings demonstrate women seldom have access to formal support, instead relying almost entirely on their personal social networks. Moreover, women most commonly turn to their parents, siblings, romantic partners, and friends for support. Next, I discuss the role of tie-complexity. Prior work notes that many women have positive or negative ties, in other words social network connections who are helpful or harmful to the women's reentry success. Building on this, I find that women leaving prison have far more complicated relationships than simply "positive" or "negative". Indeed, many women had ties that were supportive of their reentry efforts in some capacity, but that made their reentry more difficult in other respects. This "tie-complexity" adds a level of intricacy to women's ability to access needed social support during their reentry that has yet to be thoroughly explored. I demonstrate that tie-complexity is not only common in the support networks of women leaving prison, but that it restricts women's willingness and ability to request social support from members of their social network and reduces mental health. Notably, tie-complexity impacted Black women to a greater extent than White respondents. Last, I examine how women's stage in life (E.g., age, motherhood, maturity) impacts the type of support they need for reentry and who they rely on and have available to provide support. I find that women in early, mid, and later life have different goals and needs for their reentry experience. Further, women at different life stages rely on different types of social ties to get their support needs met. These findings contribute to our understanding of how intersectionality and relationship dynamics differentially impacts women's experiences of reentry. Disentangling women's needs after incarceration and their access to social support is crucial for advising policy and programming that seeks to improve the experiences of women reintegrating with their community.
