You will also respond to 2 of your peers: How has fragmentation of corrections among federal, state, and local governments affected the quality of services for female officers? If they commit similar crimes, should women receive the same sentences as men do? How might the unequal treatment of male and female offenders be rationalized? Imagine that you are the administrator of a women’s correctional center. What problems would you expect to encounter? How would you handle these problems? What parental rights should prisoners have? Should children be allowed to live in correctional facilities with their mothers? What problems would this practice create? How do the social structures of male and female correctional institutions differ? Why do you think they differ in these ways?
