Evidence on outcomes for women in the criminal justice system
In 2018, the Ministry of Justice outlined its aim to deliver better custody for women in the Female Offender Strategy by adopting a holistic gender-informed approach that better met their specific needs. This focused on maintaining family ties, improving safety, becoming trauma-informed, and improving health services and rehabilitative support.
However, Boards’ findings do not indicate overall improved outcomes for women in prison.
