Research Question set forth will attempt to demonstrate how stable relationships promote successful reentry.
Research question: How does familial interaction influence reentry efforts?
After incarceration, family dynamics and reintegration efforts are fundamental to fathers reestablishing their roles and successfully reintegrating into their communities. H4P intends to explore family interactions between incarcerated fathers, their children, and spouses/partners, while incarcerated and after they are released. This extensive question attempts to highlight challenging issues as fathers transition from prison to their communities – particularly to their families.

Participants will be recruited through referrals, local, state, and federal correctional facilities, as well as parole and probation agencies. A quasi-experimental design, consisting of pretest and post-test evaluations will be utilized to measure program outcomes. At the 6-month mark, before being released from prison, H4P will initiate contact with fathers to evaluate their needs, and conduct a pre-test. After release, post-tests will be done in phases. First, an assessment will be done 1 month after successfully completing the H4P Reentry Workshop. At the 3-month mark, the first post-test will be conducted, and subsequently every 6 months thereafter for the duration of the …show more content…
Successful reentry is dependent on successful program outcomes. Healthy family and interpersonal relationships, along with economic stability are fostered then measured at different stages, creating a before and after comparisons of personal development, attitude changes, and varying transitional problems. Therefore, assessing individuals needs and challenges before, during and after programs provide the greatest measure in assessing reentry, and providing comprehensive services. When evaluating programs, pre-test and post-test evaluations from the entire sample (150 participants) will be compared to measure outcomes.
Collaborating agencies will work directly with H4P to develop agency specific evaluations to be incorporated with H4P comprehensive 6-month assessments (post-tests). Each agency will create evaluations specifically measuring their program outcomes relating to attitudes, interpersonal relationships, family issues, that will be incorporated into H4P evaluations. Even though the aforementioned outcomes will be measure by the different agencies, a compilation amalgamating will demonstrate a more inclusive picture concerning H4P reentry
