This study focused on transportation deprivation in women offenders. For the purpose of exploring transportation disadvantage for women on community supervision, interviews were conducted with 75 women on probation or parole. These interviews focused on women's struggles with transportation and featured questions regarding whether they have driving licenses, have social support, are stressed or unsafe when they travel, and whether transportation problems have impacted supervision violations or recidivism events.
The interviews were used to explore the following themes:
- Women's insights and experiences about getting from place to place while under supervision
- Their strategies for increasing transportation resources and access
- The connections of transportation access to attending required/needed programming and supervision appointments
- Whether any violations or new offenses resulted from inadequate transportation access
