GGD-81-6 1 (1980-12-10)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabbhx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Women In Prison: Inequitable Treatment Requires Action Women in correctional institutions are not provided comparable services, educational programs, or facilities as men prisoners. In- equities are most prevalent in State institu- tions, but they also exist in Federal and local correctional systems. An increasing number of suits have been brought by women demanding equality in the types of facilities and other opportunities pro- vided to men. Courts are frequently deciding in favor of female inmates. Some jurisdictions are using innovative ap- proaches to corrections to a limited extent. Through a cooperative effort at all levels of Government, with the Federal level assuming the leadership, more equitable treatment for females could be achieved with increased em- phasis on alternative approaches. At the same time, existing and future facilities and staff resources would be used more efficiently. /0/-3 7 GGD-814 DECEMBER 10, 1980 _9j 1;7
