Answer: many LGBT people are isolated from their families, face bullying, harassment, and unfair.
Explanation: many released LGBT people
also may have a history of substance abuse and physical and mental
health issues. Few will have completed high school, let alone college.
Together, all of these factors can be linked to high rates of insecurity and
instability, and all of them add up to huge challenges for an LGBT person
who has a criminal record and who may have spent time in prison or jail.
