Item Social Relationships and Group Dynamics Inside a Community Correction Facility for Women(Sage, 2015) Cantora, Andrea; Mellow, Jeff; Schlager, Melinda D.This article presents research on women’s perceptions and experiences residing in a female community correction facility. Qualitative interview data and field observations are used to examine resident relationships, perceptions of on-site group treatment, and benefits of receiving off-site treatment. Findings from this study indicate an overwhelming feeling of tension and lack of trust among residents, resulting in most women withdrawing from social interactions. Relationship dynamics also played a role in women’s participation during on-site group treatment and desiring offsite treatment. This study supports the need to create, and sustain, therapeutic environments within community correction settings for women.
