Reintegration factors in the treatment of drug addiction in women prisoners in Spain
description
It is essential to understand the reintegration processes of persons with drug dependency, especially in prisons and from a gender perspective. This paper aims to analyze drug dependency, the treatment received by women prisoners in the ordinary and open sentencing regimes in the Spanish prison system, and the relationship of these issues to the factors that determine the women’s reintegration processes. The study analyzes a sample of 756 women prisoners and 66 prison professionals who completed mixed questionnaires. The results show substantial presence of drug dependency in both regimes. Most of the women with drug dependency received treatment, although they perceived this treatment as lacking a gender-based perspective that recognized their needs. Treatment improves reintegration by fostering socio-community participation and employment status. Lack of continuity in treatment makes it more difficult, however, for the women to find housing and to prevent relapses and recidivism. It also jeopardizes mental health. In short, professional training and awareness of gender equality are needed to develop accompaniment strategies and suitably adapted treatment, and to prevent relapse and recidivism.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivoanalizar las drogodependencias, el trato recibido por las mujeres penadas en las modalidades derégimen ordinario y régimen abierto del sistema penitenciario español y la relación con los factoresque determinan sus procesos de reinserción. Se analiza una muestra de 756 mujeres penadas y 66profesionales penitenciarios que cumplimentaron cuestionarios mixtos. Los resultados mostraronuna gran presencia de drogodependencias en ambos regímenes. La mayoría de las mujeres con problemas de adicción recibieron tratamientos, aunque percibieron carencias en la perspectivade género para reconocer sus necesidades. El tratamiento mejora la reinserción al fomentar laparticipación sociocomunitaria y la situación laboral, pero por su falta de continuidad dificultala búsqueda de vivienda, la prevención de recaídas y reincidencia y perjudica la salud mental.En definitiva, se requiere la formación y sensibilización profesional en igualdad de género paradesarrollar estrategias de acompañamiento y tratamiento adaptadas, prevenir las recaídas yreincidencia.2023text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=9038648(Revista) ISSN 1696-9219Revista Española de Investigación Criminológica: REIC, ISSN 1696-9219, null 21, Nº. 1, 2023engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
