Abstract
Work in identifying specific needs of offenders returning to the community began only recently. There are available several surveys of parolees, but study of other offender groups is necessary. This paper discusses general problems offenders experience as they leave prison. An approach to the enumeration of needs among a halfway house population is then outlined, and basic agree ments and disagreements between staff and offenders are briefly discussed.Keywords
