两名女性临床心理学家对 100 名女性监狱囚犯进行了随机抽样调查，调查指标包括创伤暴露、精神病理学、性危险行为、养育技能和感知的服务需求。参与者一生中经历过创伤（98%）、当前存在精神障碍（36%）和吸毒/酗酒问题（74%）的比例很高。超过一半的女性在养育子女方面表现出缺陷。参与者将他们的主要问题描述为药物滥用和家庭问题，并且他们认可了他们希望能够获得的各种潜在服务。除非在计划制定时考虑到创伤和受害经历、心理健康需求和功能困难，否则被监禁妇女不太可能从内部和释放后计划中获得最佳受益。
A convenience sample of 100 female jail inmates was interviewed by two female clinical psychologists using measures of trauma exposure, psychopathology, sexual risk behavior, parenting skills, and perceived needs for service. participants had high rates of life-time trauma exposure (98%), current mental disorders (36%), and drug/alcohol problems (74%). More than half of the women showed deficits in parenting skills. Participants described their primary problems as being in the areas of substance abuse and family issues, and they endorsed a variety of potential services they would like to be able to access. Unless trauma and victimization experiences, mental health needs, and functional difficulties are taken into account in program development, incarcerated women are unlikely to benefit optimally from in-house and postrelease programs.
