Briefs & Resources on Justice-involved Women and Children (JIWC)
Incarcerated women and their children have complex health risks, yet addressing these risks presents new challenges for corrections systems and public health professionals.

We also have a catalogue of state-by-state policy briefs from JIWC here. Our newest publication is:
