“…Although research on Native American women overall has been limited, there is even less work focused on the effects of ACEs for Native American incarcerated women. The handful of studies that have examined Native American women prisoners have found that exposure to multiple ACEs, particularly abuse and neglect, is directly associated with mental health issues (De Ravello et al, 2008;Vigessa, 2013). In addition, ACEs among Native American women prisoners have also been linked to illicit drug-related offenses and an accelerated time to recidivism upon release (De Ravello et al, 2008;Vigessa, 2013).…”

In addition, ACEs among Native American women prisoners have also been linked to illicit drug-related offenses and an accelerated time to recidivism upon release (De Ravello et al, 2008;Vigessa, 2013). Despite these findings, we still know very little about the impact of ACEs for non-incarcerated and incarcerated Native American women.…”

“…Thus, there is some evidence to suggest that ACEs may be related to the perpetration of physical violence against an adult intimate partner among Native American women prisoners before incarceration. Given that previous studies have found a high exposure to ACEs in both incarcerated and non-incarcerated Native American women samples (Brockie et al, 2015;Kenny & Singh, 2016;Roh et al, 2015;Vigessa, 2013), more research is needed to explore the relationships between ACEs and violence perpetration in adult intimate relationships.…”

Native American women are at an especially high risk of lifetime violence, including childhood abuse, intimate partner violence (IPV), and sexual assault, and are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. Yet few studies have examined how the long-term effects of child maltreatment and other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect Native American women prisoners’ perpetration of physical violence in adult intimate relationships. This is surprising because ample research illustrates that childhood adverse events, particularly childhood abuse and neglect, have far-reaching effects across the life course and that these experiences are especially apparent in the lives of women involved in the criminal justice system. Using data from a stratified random sample of Native American ( n = 92) and non-Native American ( n = 264) women prisoners in Oklahoma, we explore the relationships between individual, cumulative, and clusters of ACEs as they relate to the use of physical violence in adult intimate relationships. Utilizing a feminist life course theoretical framework, our findings indicate that ACEs are not only critical to understanding adult IPV but also that the mechanisms and processes underlying the relationships between ACEs and the perpetration of physical violence in adult intimate relationships differ for Native American and non-Native American women. The findings of the current study demonstrate that it is imperative that prison programming includes trauma-informed and trauma-specific interventions targeting Native Americans.

“…Other studies have found that children from Latino and African American families are less likely to receive mental health services, as well as children who are uninsured or who have mothers with low educational attainment (Dettlaff & Cardoso, 2010; Kataoka et al, 2002). Many Native American children also have unmet mental health needs due to inadequate access to mental health care (Ogden, 2004; Vigesaa, 2013) and the cultural stigma attached to mental illness among tribal groups (Grandbois, 2005). In addition, Native American caregivers are often deterred from seeking services for children because treatment providers are not always competent about the traditional belief systems embraced in aboriginal cultures (Thompson, Walker, & Silk-Warner, 1993; Whitbeck, McMorris, Hoyt, Stubben, & LaFromboise, 2002).…”

This study identifies the factors related to mental health service use among children of incarcerated mothers. Data on 700 children collected from a diverse sample of mothers in Arizona are used, and a two-stage probit model with sample selection is estimated to assess the various child, mother, and caregiver characteristics associated with children's use of mental health services. Results indicate that children involved in child protective services (CPS) and children cared for by grandparents are more likely to receive mental health services, whereas children of Native American mothers and children who have been exposed to violence are less likely to receive services for their mental health needs. These findings have important implications for correctional policy regarding the intake screening of female inmates and suggest that criminal justice agencies communicate more closely with CPS and community-based services to ensure children's mental health needs are addressed while their mothers are in prison.
