Journal of Criminal Justice, 2022, vol. 83, issue C

Abstract: Recent scholarship has affirmed the importance of overall health and wellbeing for people exposed to incarceration. Specifically, researchers have begun to ascertain how physical and mental health are integral to a returning citizen's wellbeing and future interactions with the criminal justice system. However, this conceptualization of health is limited in scope. We expand this body of research by proposing an eight-domain holistic model of health which includes physical, mental/emotional, social, spiritual, occupational, financial, intellectual, and environmental health. We use data from the LoneStar Project—a representative, multi-wave study of reentering men in Texas.
