Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate a self-report instrument, Post Release Living Inventory for Ex-prisoners (PORLI-ex) for measuring post-release everyday adaptation. Three separate samples of ex-prisoners were recruited to complete an online survey (N=1,277). The final model evidenced acceptable goodness-of-fit and consisted of 45 items on nine dimensions.
