I've since worked tirelessly on projects and write a monthly column for Criminal Law & Justice Weekly to highlight the problems and difficulties women offenders face. I've faced them and without any support or service to aid me.

Human Rights are not being granted to the women but more particularly to the families and most importantly the children of those families. I do have an idea to put forward if anyone was interested and I have tried to discuss with the Women in Prison Magazine but it is not something they could take on - if you require any information please contact me and I would be happy to discuss and perhaps take the matter forward this is something I think is extremely important and needs to be addressed in our criminal justice system.

It dehumanises many inmates and staff. It is designed to remove people from a society which most of them will be returning to. It ensures inmates have little or no access to the basic neccessities for becoming truly human which are absorbed via the senses. i.e. little fresh air, poor nourishment, lack of stimulation from nature, human warmth and companionship from family and/or close friends i.e. love. Through recent cuts in prison education inmates now have even less opportunity to deveop skills, latent talents or interests. Inmates are therefore even less likey to develop any sense of self esteem or to envision themselves as having a future which may be different from their past. Inmates are mostly people who have experienced childhood and adult trauma. This is rarely addressed except in high security prisons. Most inmates have damaged primary attachments and very little opportunity to link the above in relation to their offending. Prison often retraumatises and inmates have to learn adaptive behaviours in order to cope. Maladaptive behaviour passes on to the next generation, mostly via the primary carer, usually the mother. It is time to change not talk.

The numbers of women in custody on remand is unacceptable, appropriately funded alternatives for those on remand and those who commit low level non-violent offences is vital. We need to stop the unequal treatment of women in our CJS.
