This study explores the reentry needs of incarcerated individuals within a local jail, focusing on expressed needs related to mental health and its impact on one's self-reported future outlook of staying out of legal trouble. Using data from 385 participants in a Southeastern jail reentry program in the United States, self-reported reentry needs were examined, highlighting variations by race and biological sex. Using logistic regression, it was found that mental health needs negatively influenced future outlooks, while other significant needs such as housing and employment were prevalent but not as influential on future outlooks. Overall, the findings reflect the importance of integrated, gender-responsive, and culturally tailored mental health services to improve reintegration success and reduce recidivism among returning citizens.
