ALTERNATIVES SOUGHT FOR OVERCROWDED WOMEN'S JAIL
Justice Center Would Focus On Rehab
REDWOOD CITY -- A new report recommends that San Mateo County build a
minimum security center devoted to rehabilitation, job training and
parenting in order to manage a female prisoner population that shows
no signs of decreasing.
Titled the "Maple Street Correctional Facilities Needs Assessment
Report," the document suggests that the Board of Supervisors curb its
exploding inmate population at the Women's Correctional Center by
developing "a graduated continuum of supervision options, facilities
and therapeutic services" that stretch from arrest until six months
after release.
