1 results foundAuthor: Oklahoma Department of Corrections Title: Managing Increasing Female Inmate Populations Summary: Rates of growth of female inmate populations have generated considerable attention and concern as correctional officials consider appropriate, gender-specific responses in the U.S. and in Oklahoma, which leads the nation in female incarceration rate. Research and practice have detailed that, as Oklahoma and other states attempt to deal effectively with their increasing incarcerated female populations, they will have to deal with the unique as well as more familiar paths leading to female incarceration. In addition, if reentry is to be successful, they will have to face and overcome obstacles regarding (1) treatment for substance abuse problems; (2) health care; (3) mental health issues; (4) violence prevention and post-traumatic stress disorder; (5) educational and employment services; (6) safe, secure, affordable housing; and (7) child advocacy and family reunification. This will likely involve more use of assessment instruments, such as the LSI-R and gender-validated tools, as well as more focused programs and priorities, including family impact statements, therapeutic communities, intensive gender-based case management, certificates of employability, and specific female-oriented research agendas and products.
