Under the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, prison leavers are among those who are no longer considered a priority need. This article draws on interviews conducted with 17 women prison leavers and 10 professionals that formed part of a Welsh Government funded evaluation of homelessness services to adults in the secure estate (Madoc-Jones et al., 2018). The findings in this study lend support to previous research that indicates women who come into contact with the criminal justice system often have multiple and complex needs. The findings of the study support the need for gender-specific services and more availability of supported accommodation to ensure the effective resettlement of women prison leavers.

根据2014年《住房（威尔士）法》，不再被认为是监狱逃亡者的人之一。本文借鉴了对17名女囚犯和10名专业人员的访谈，这些访谈是威尔士政府资助的对该安全庄园成人无家可归服务评估的一部分（Madoc-Jones等，2018）。这项研究的结果为以前的研究提供了支持，该研究表明与刑事司法系统接触的妇女经常有多重和复杂的需求。该研究的结果表明，需要提供针对性别的服务，并需要更多的有保障的住所，以确保有效地重新安置女囚。
