These sources of support are discussed from a system perspective (the prison) and an individual perspective (prisoners). The conclusion that was drawn from this study is amongst the difficulties the prisoners are benefited from the social support. So further research is conducted to understand how prisoners perceive and evaluate social support so that services can be directed to meet/fulfil the needs of the prisoners.
