Task force flags national trends and Healthy Start program for future review
Summary
Members recommended the task force read a recent forecast on the projected growth of women's incarceration, review Research in Action's report cards on institutions serving Black women, and request an update on the Healthy Start postpartum program and its use among people in custody.
Members brought research and program updates to the task force agenda, urging future discussion. A participant flagged a national forecast on trends in women's incarceration projecting growth over the next decade and recommended a group read and discussion. The group also noted Research in Action’s ongoing 'Justice and Institutions for Black Women and Fems' project and suggested examining its findings related to criminal justice institutions.
"There was a report that was released maybe a month ago about the it was kind of a forecast looking at the trends of of women's incarceration and forecasting what it means for the next like 10 years and the projected growth nationally of inc of women's incarceration," one member said, recommending the task force consider the report. Members also asked for a future update on the Healthy Start postpartum program — how many people have used it and whether it affects outcomes for primary caregivers — and asked DOC staff to schedule that report.
