Abstract

The author examined correlates of social support among 101 offenders in corrections-based treatment programs. Respondents perceived high levels of support despite numerous interpersonal problems. Social support was significantly associated with visits, letters, arrests, and days in treatment (p <.05). The author describes strategies for implementing family-oriented interventions in corrections-based programs. © 2002 American Counseling Association.
