Abstract
This is the fourth in a series of reports on the evaluation of the Scottish Prison Service Transitional Care arrangements. The first report provided information about the Transitional Care service, and described the views of staff providing the service. The second report presented early results of 4 month post-release interviews with ex-prisoners who had initially agreed to take up the offer of Transitional Care. The third report presented the results from a larger sample of ex-prisoners interviewed 4 months post-release and the early results from ex-prisoners surveyed 7 months post-release. This report summarises the key findings from the completed survey of exprisoners 4 and 7 months after release and an analysis of Transitional Care monitoring data. The final report will be published in the autumn of 2005.
