Comparatively little is known about how Canadian prisoners experience and make sense of their lives inside Canadian correctional facilities. Based on 39 qualitative in-depth interviews conducted with remanded women in a Western Canadian remand prison as part of the University of Alberta Prison Project (UAPP), this article serves to describe the five main issues that women in our sample highlighted about their incarceration and how those were shaped by their own backgrounds and life histories: 1) Victimization; 2) Distrust of the police, 3) Parenting while incarcerated; 4) Addictions and mental health; 5) Contextual benefits of prison. The implications of this work for criminal justice practitioners, policymakers, and scholars are discussed. Our findings serve to detail the commonalities between the women in an effort to provide criminal justice and social service actors with contextual background information about their clients. They show that the women lack access to the myriad social and institutional supports that so many people take for granted, including protection from physical and sexual abuse, access to stable housing, addiction support, medical and dental treatment, mental health supports, trauma counselling, and the like.

“…Adverse childhood experiences, such as sexual abuse, disengagement from school, neglect, family breakdown, and psychosocial failings, are a known risk factor for the development of mental health issues and have been linked to the occurrence of mood disorders, substance misuse, posttraumatic stress disorder, and personality disorders (Cutuli et al 2013;Dackis et al 2012;Larson et al 2017). Traumatized young people are more likely to come to the attention of police and juvenile justice systems than their non-traumatized peers (Altintas & Bilici 2018;Fox et al 2015). Therefore, it is imperative that mental health professionals not only understand the dynamics of the long-term effects of childhood trauma but are also able to provide appropriate interventions for at-risk young people.…”

Adverse childhood experiences are strongly associated with the development of mental health disorders during the life span. When mental health issues are not effectively dealt with during the adolescent period, young people can become long‐term consumers in the mental health system. A widely accepted method of intervention is the provision of mentoring. More recently, young people have been fulfilling the role of mentor to their peers and mentoring has played a large role in supporting young people who are considered at‐risk of not achieving the expected psychosocial, educational, and/or developmental goals. What is not known is why young people, previously identified as being at‐risk, are motivated to mentor their at‐risk peers. The study aim was to examine what motivates previously recognized at‐risk young people to provide mentoring to their at‐risk peers. Participants were twelve previously recognized at‐risk young people recruited through a formal peer‐to‐peer mentoring programme. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted, and the data analysed through narrative inquiry and reported in accordance with the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research guidelines (COREQ). Results indicate that young people are motivated by their own lived experiences of trauma(s) to provide at‐risk peer mentoring. The experience of mentoring afforded opportunities to rewrite individual personal journeys of trauma through mentoring their at‐risk peers, thus constructing a more positive self‐identity. Outcomes of developing positive peer relationships and prosocial behaviours could significantly assist mental health clinicians in providing more acceptable care to clients in an age group known to be reluctant to accept traditional mental health intervention.

“…Childhood trauma is considered as the combination of different factors among which the history of their family members" incarceration is very vital (Chui, 2016;Altintas and Bilici, 2018;Caravaca-Sánchez et al, 2019). Therefore, the incarcerated females are more likely to face more delinquent outcomes from their children or other family members.…”

Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the existing literature by minimizing the gap of scientific investigation regarding the effectiveness of prison system in Bangladesh in dealing with the inmates. 1. INTRODUCTION Crimes are antisocial behavior mandated by the legal system. These are considered as committed when someone intentionally breaks the statutory law by crossing the limit of their legal boundaries (Brown et al., 2010). The concept of crime is a complex one, which is viewed as a norm-breaking natural phenomenon of a given human society at all times and has encountered changes in accordance with the development of society (Schwartz and Vega, 2017). The number of crime-commission seems to be soared up in the contemporary world. The rate of females" involvement in crimes is also gradually rising around the world (
