Resolving Health Disparities for Women Involved in the Criminal Justice System

N C Med J. 2019 Nov-Dec;80(6):363-366. doi: 10.18043/ncm.80.6.363.

Abstract

Women who are involved in the criminal justice system experience poorer reproductive health outcomes. Resolving this inequality will require addressing reproductive health disparities facing incarcerated women, improving the health of criminal justice-involved women in the community, and preventing engagement of women with the criminal justice system altogether.
