This research examines the factors that impact on a newly released male prisoner's ability to deal with relationship issues. Most prisoners, in South Australia, will be released to the community and of these very few will live in complete isolation from other human beings. Humans are dependent on other persons to full-fill a range of needs and this process is reciprocal. If skills are lost due to incarceration then both the prisoner and the community suffer. (Matthews 1999) Pre-release issues are important but the relationship issue permeates through all pre-release requirements. It can can impact on obtaining and retaining employment, maintaining personal relationships, getting social security, obtaining housing etc. This is a very important aspect of human existence but sometimes it is forgotten until it is a severe problem.
