The Offender Rehabilitation Act (ORA) 2014 has extended post-release supervision to all individuals serving short sentences in England and Wales – a cohort who previously faced neglect within the criminal justice system. This empirical study uses a case study approach to explore the resettlement experiences of individuals subject to this new legislation, understanding how individuals circulate and re-cycle between a range of services and agencies in the community, further illuminating upon the reality of repeat ‘revolving door’ imprisonment. Drawing upon Cohen's ‘net widening’ analogy, this article posits that collectively the array of services involved in an individual's resettlement form a ‘resettlement net’, which segregates individuals in the community through control and surveillance functions, extending the carceral boundary of the prison firmly into the community. Welfare-orientated organisations become compelled to ‘braid’ welfare responses alongside penal functions in order to operate within the resettlement net. This article also explores some of the difficulties that individuals experience as they navigate the resettlement net, including informal forms of exclusion, and the wear and tear of the net, which undermines the rhetoric of care envisioned by this legislation, and drives individuals deeper into the mesh of carceral control.

2014 年罪犯康复法案 (ORA) 已将出狱后的监督范围扩大到所有在英格兰和威尔士服刑的人——这一群体以前在刑事司法系统中面临忽视。这项实证研究采用案例研究的方法来探索受这项新立法约束的个人的重新安置经历，了解个人如何在社区的一系列服务和机构之间循环和再循环，进一步阐明重复“旋转门”的现实’监禁。借鉴科恩的“网络扩大”类比，本文假设个人重新安置所涉及的一系列服务共同形成了“安置网”，它通过控制和监视功能将社区中的个人隔离开来，将监狱的监狱边界牢牢地延伸到社区。以福利为导向的组织被迫将福利响应与刑事职能“编成辫子”，以便在移民安置网中运作。本文还探讨了个人在重新安置网络中遇到的一些困难，包括非正式形式的排斥，以及网络的磨损，这破坏了该立法所设想的关怀修辞，并驱使个人更深入地融入社会。控制网。
