A House Joint Resolution concerning
Correctional Opportunities for Women
Convicted of Crime
FOR the purpose of requesting the Governor and Legislative Policy
Committee to establish a committee to study sentencing and
correctional alternatives for women convicted of crime in
the State.
WHEREAS, The rate of recidivism of women criminal offenders
is lower than that of criminal offenders who are men; and
WHEREAS, Many women who are convicted of crime would benefit
from correctional programs based in the community rather than in
more restrictive settings; and
WHEREAS, Although some work release and pre-release programs
exist in which women incarcerated in the penal system may
participate, an increase in the number and availability of these
programs would enhance the rehabilitation of more women in the
prison system; and
