Incarceration and community reentry for rural women reflect gendered processes. We draw upon in-depth semi-structured interviews and focus groups to examine the return of women prisoners to underserved rural communities, while attending to the perspectives of their closest social supporters. Our findings underscore the complexity of the reentry process for rural women and its particular impact on their families. We challenge dominant discourses of personal responsibility that detract from the structura violence and injustice shaping reentry experiences for women and their social supporters. We also consider the policy implications of discharge and reentry planning for rural women and their families, as well as strategies to reduce recidivism.
农村女性的监禁与重返社区反映了性别化过程。我们利用深入的半结构化访谈和焦点小组来研究女性囚犯返回服务不足的农村社区的情况，同时关注她们最亲密的社会支持者的观点。我们的研究结果强调了农村女性重返过程的复杂性及其对家庭的特殊影响。我们对强调个人责任的主流话语提出质疑，这些话语掩盖了塑造女性及其社会支持者重返经历的结构性暴力和不公正。我们还考虑了农村女性及其家庭出院和重返计划的政策含义，以及减少累犯的策略。
