title: Aspects regarding the hope for successful reintegration of female detainees.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We investigated in the female inmate population whether they had and which were the foundations of hope for a better future after liberation.
  
  
  METHODS
  We created and applied a questionnaire structured on four general information chapters regarding health, attitude and spiritual life. In total, 67 questions with 293 items.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For this study, we selected 62 items. Hope for better reintegration was layed on family support and (re)imployment. The majority considered that the length of the detention influences the chances for social reintegration. The family perception was clarified and the relationship with the parents and spouse was tightened. The spiritual questions reflected a moderate return to religion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The study proved that the female detainees have a positive perception on the role of education and that the efforts of different educational factors during detention was strongly positive. The development of moral, family, social and spiritual values was beneficial and raised the hopes of social reintegration.
