Study findings clearly underscore the importance of education and treatment for behavioral health problems as key determinants of stable employment among women in prison. Women with a high school level of education or greater were significantly more likely than their less educated counterparts to be fully employed and hold jobs for longer periods of time prior to their incarceration. Similarly, women who received treatment for drug addiction and/or a mental health disorder in the community were more likely to experience stable employment than women who needed but had not received behavioral health services. The findings reaffirm and add to the current knowledge of factors influencing employment for women in prison. The successful reintegration of inmates into their communities continues to be an important objective of ongoing social and institutional efforts to reduce the level of recidivism. However, achieving stable employment is a significant challenge for people leaving prison. The prospects of incarcerated women finding and retaining stable employment are more hampered than their male counterparts because they are more likely to have psychiatric disorders and a history of physical and sexual abuse. The main objective of this study was to delineate the relative importance of a variety of personal factors as determinants of stable employment for female inmates. The study sample consisted of 908 female inmates in New Jersey completing a survey on their history of need in and treatment for behavioral health services. Tables, references
