List and discuss some of the problems faced by women in jails today. Given that women make up a relatively small percentage of the jail population, should states be required to provide special services for them or do you think that this would create an unfair burden on correctional systems in a time of budget cuts? Support your response with statistics and examples.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should discuss problems faced by jailed women today, such as a lack of a gender-specific classification system, lack of separate housing for women, substance abuse, low education, pregnancy, a lack of substantive medical programs for female inmates, and the demand that jailed mothers contribute to the support of their dependent children. The student's opinion regarding the need for special services for women jail inmates and the support provided for that opinion are also key elements of the response to this question.
