description The goal of this study was to examine the lived experiences and perceptions of female drug offenders in a community programme, with an emphasis on the role of the family in their desistance. Female drug offenders (N = 11) undergoing a community sentence were tasked with capturing photographs representative of their recovery. Participants were interviewed on the meanings of these photographs, with symbolic themes subsequently elicited from these interviews. Findings illustrated that participants were more likely to rely on their families for support as compared to other factors. Implications of the findings in relation to desistance and social relationships are discussed.
