| Summary: | As part of our process evaluation into the implementation of gender responsive rehabilitation (GRR) programing at the women’s jail in L.A. County, we documented the planning, rationale, design, implementation, and execution of policies related to GRR. We examined successes and challenges in the hopes of providing a roadmap for other sheriffs or wardens working toward implementing similar types of programing. Among the components and processes that have the potential to serve as models for gender responsive policy and practice within corrections are the triaging process to identify appropriate programing in a timely manner, and the gender responsive advocate, a position dedicated to the pregnant population under custody. The most innovative programs and policies recognized and safeguarded the role of women as mothers. The strongest focused on minimizing the time between intake and programing. The main challenge to continuity, sustainability, and scalability was often technological. |
