While Wells of Hope ministries conducted a research that was to aid in the documentation of Uganda’s first ever Re-entry guide, a booklet that is meant to offer information to people in prison about how to access the basic needs and services during and after incarceration like medical care, education, obtaining a national ID, getting a passport and many others. The researchers found out that one of the basic needs is housing. It was a challenge to identify any reliable form of housing that a person that is leaving prison can go to. And yet, as a vast number of individuals shared – both the ones that had previously been released and those still in incarceration, one would require a place to go to especially on the release day as they embrace their new found freedom and as they prepare for a life after prison. Whereas both men and women face challenges resettling back in their communities, the research showed that given their vulnerability women are more disadvantaged and can hardly manoeuvre through their communities unlike their male counterparts. The men, are often easily accepted in their communities and homes which Is the direct opposite for the women. This often leads the women to be the common victims of recidivism as they often go back to the crimes that had them incarcerated before as they try to seek for survival.
