Women's Jails: An Investigation of Offenders, Staff, Administration and Programming

Publication year: 1993 | Cataloged on: Oct. 31, 2006
Thumbnail preview ANNOTATION: Five moderate-sized, exclusively women's jails were examined in terms of facility profiles, programming efforts, staffing patterns and characteristics, and inmate characteristics. Data were gathered through jail administrator Profile Forms, site visit interviews with the administrators, site observation of the jails, and staff and inmate questionnaires. The authors recommend that further research on women's jails, especially comparing the exclusively women's and mixed population models, is needed, as is a conference of women's jail administrators.
