Working with Women Offenders in Correctional Institutions

To present her case for gender-responsive programming, Morton, president of the Association on Programs for Female Offenders, establishes a historical, legal and social context before examining the legal, physical and mental health problems specific to women prisoners. Morton covers all aspects of a prisoner's life, from clothing and security to motherhood. She goes beyond a description of needed changes to make practical recommendations for achieving them.
