What are the special problems facing female inmates? What are the special needs and concerns of inmate mothers?
What will be an ideal response?
• Many female inmates have histories of physical and sexual abuse. Although they are likely to have dependent children, their parenting skills may be limited. Most female inmates are housed in centralized state facilities known as women's prisons, which are dedicated exclusively to incarcerating female felons. Some states, however, particularly those with small populations, continue to keep female prisoners in special wings of what are otherwise institutions for men. Few facilities for women have programs especially designed for female offenders. Female inmates are also disproportionately victimized by both other inmates and staff in federal and state prisons, as well as local jails.
