Abstract

As part of our process evaluation into the implementation of gender responsive rehabilitation (GRR) programing at the women’s jail in L.A. County, we documented the planning, rationale, design, implementation, and execution of policies related to GRR. We examined successes and challenges in the hopes of providing a roadmap for other sheriffs or wardens working toward implementing similar types of programing. Among the components and processes that have the potential to serve as models for gender responsive policy and practice within corrections are the triaging process to identify appropriate programing in a timely manner, and the gender responsive advocate, a position dedicated to the pregnant population under custody. The most innovative programs and policies recognized and safeguarded the role of women as mothers. The strongest focused on minimizing the time between intake and programing. The main challenge to continuity, sustainability, and scalability was often technological.

摘要

作为我们对洛杉矶县女子监狱性别响应康复 (GRR) 计划实施过程评估的一部分，我们记录了与 GRR 相关的政策的规划、理由、设计、实施和执行。我们研究了成功和挑战，希望为其他警长或看守提供路线图，以实施类似类型的计划。在有可能成为惩戒中性别敏感政策和实践模式的组成部分和过程中，包括及时确定适当计划的分类过程，以及性别敏感倡导者，这是一个专门针对受监管怀孕人群的职位。最具创新性的方案和政策承认并保障妇女作为母亲的作用。最强者专注于最大限度地减少摄入和编程之间的时间。连续性、可持续性和可扩展性的主要挑战通常是技术方面的。
