Griffins Research Paper 2002/01 is the report of a study of the resettlement issues facing women lifers before release. This follow-up research focussed on the women’s actual experience of release:

• to explore whether the women had been adequately prepared for release and whether they received sufficient support to assist with their reintegration into the community; and

• to consider whether the reality of release corresponded with the women’s expectations before release.
