Discuss some of the complex issues related to the housing of women in jails
What will be an ideal response?
The educational level among women inmates is very low, with less than half the women in jail having graduated from high school. Women entering jail are also noted to have high levels of substance abuse. Pregnancy is yet another problem; 4% of all female inmates are pregnant, and many will give birth in jail. Obstetrics care and gynecological services are often inadequate. Furthermore, our nation's jails lack a sufficient number of female correctional officers, which might lead to abuse of women inmates by male staff.
