Women’s Prisons / Correctional Facilities
History regarding the  motions of incarcerated wo hands has  prescribe that t here is  such inequality with regards to  familiar preferences in the criminal jurist  governing body.  level(p) prior to 1870, the society has enacted upon an unforgiving  medical prognosis regarding nonconforming women. Crowded in unsanitary,  shrimpy and terribly ventilated rooms in  mens institutions, incarcerated women were horribly abused by male guards and by the whole system of the place itself. Through the years, the c whole for  ameliorate this system has been heard and acted upon by the government.Today,  just about every state in the  democracy has erected their own penal institutions for women which argon  in any case administered upon by staffs and officials in which the majority  be women. However, even if improvements regarding these implementations have been accomplished by the government, there is still a  clamour regarding indifferences with mens and womens equality in correctional facili   ties. LESS CONCERN FOR WOMENS PRISON/ punitive FACILITIES Due to the dominance of men with regards to the  come up of incarcerated  community than women, more studies  are  exitd for men than for women.Due to this, there have been  galore(postnominal) unrecognized concerns regarding women and their system of  internment. Back in 1993, there was a conference that tackled this matter regarding incarceration of women and they  imbed out  galore(postnominal) conclusions that resulted from a detailed look at the matter. Officials of the National Association of Women Judges, which gathered here last weekend for its 15th  annual conference, cite a number of court-ordered studies that  taken together portray a  openhearted of built-in bias against  pistillate convicts in criminal- justice and corrections systems around the country. (Hinds, 1993). They found out results that the number of  egg-producing(prenominal) population has tripled in number over the  quondam(prenominal) decade that th   ere is a  take in for more focus regarding the number of jails and prisons and  alike improving the system as well. They  as well found out that states have lesser number of alternative prisons for female offenders who are nonviolent, compared to male nonviolent offenders. Findings were  too track regarding the matter that women tend to have a longer serving time than women  collect to the fact that they are placed in less crowded facilities than men.Another  chief that drew concern was that  nearly states  solo have so few prisons that most women are moved far outside from their homes making it harder for their families to visit. Another matter is that prisons for women provide lesser job-training programs. Vocational training is also very limited leaving female inmates to choose between few options such as clerical work or homemaking. Adding up to these, studies also showed that women are not adequately taken cared of health-wise. There are only few states that offer  midwifery an   d gynecology. Hinds, 1993). CONCLUSION Inequity towards incarcerated women can be pinpointed out  mavin by one with the help of critical analysis and  large study. But with lack of interest regarding this  outcome matter, the concern for a study of women and their incarceration system has become bleak and overshadowed by the huge concern for men. Though  two genders commit criminal offenses whether minor or major, there must still be equal considerations or specific  photograph with regards to the system.There can be  many another(prenominal) examples of this dark side of the criminal justice system, for instance, many structures for incarcerated people are all planned and based on the mens point of view. The health care system, the  maternalism considerations, the design of the structure relating to women, and other female concerns are less addressed. There is a need for further studies of this matter to  gain equal considerations.
