The events at the Prison for Women -- Factual findings and conclusions with respect to the incidents under investigation -- Policy issues -- Women's issues -- The roots of change: an historical perspective -- Summary of recommendations -- Appendices. Through its recent initiatives, the Correctional Service has recognized that decades of neglect and ill-adapted correctional policies borrowed from models designed for men, have failed to produce the substantive equality to which women offenders are entitled. Women's corrections should be the flagship of the Correctional Service for many reasons. For one thing, the momentum for reform is already in place and it merely needs to be sustained and expanded. The chances of success for a progressive correctional experiment are highest in women's corrections. Very few women commit crimes. This should be a badge of honour and an entitlement to reward, rather than a recipe for neglect and deprivation.
