“…The complexities of vulnerability are well illustrated in the cases of incarcerated pregnant women, with the recent development of formal recommendations to improve health and well‐being outcomes for this group of mothers and babies (Baldwin, Capper, et al, 2020 ; Birth Companions, 2016 ). The number of incarcerated women around the world is increasing, many of which are of childbearing age, (Alirezaei & Roudsari, 2022 ; Gibson, 2022 ), are from poor socio‐economic backgrounds and have higher levels of emotional and mental health trauma than the general population (World Health Organization, 2014 ). Often women moving through the criminal justice system lead chaotic lives, involving complex social issues, resulting in prison sentences related to illicit drugs, violence and robbery (Breuer et al, 2021 ).…”

Aim To stimulate discussion and debate about the inclusion of vulnerable populations in primary research to inform practice change and improve health outcomes. Background Current research practices to safeguard vulnerable people from potential harms related to power imbalances may in fact limit the generation of evidence‐based practice. Evaluation The authors draw on their experience working and researching with a recognized group of vulnerable people, incarcerated pregnant women, to provide insight into the application of ethics in both research and clinical practice. In a novel approach, the ethical principles are presented in both contexts, articulating the synergies between them. Suggestions are presented for how individuals, managers and organizations may improve research opportunities for clinical practitioners and enhance the engagement of vulnerable people to contribute to meaningful practice and policy change. Key Issues Ethical practice guidelines may limit the ability to create meaningful change for vulnerable populations, who need authentic system change to achieve good health outcomes. Conclusion Inclusive research and practice are essential to ensuring a strengths‐based approach to healthcare and addressing health needs of the whole population. Health systems and models of care recognizing the diverse lives and health needs of the broader population demand practical, sustainable support from clinical managers. Implications for Nursing Management Practical suggestions for clinical managers to support point of care research is provided, embedding vulnerable voices in policy, practice development and care provision.

“…Prison Spaces in Aotearoa New Zealand ANZ's approach to incarceration reflects the impact of both colonisation and patriarchal relations (Bentley, 2014;Gibson, 2022;Jackson, 1990;Lamusse, 2022;McIntosh & Workman, 2017;Taylor, 1997). Together these help explain who ends up in the CJS, how institutions within the CJS operate and the experiences people have when leaving prison.…”

“…The first target of SDG 5 is to "end all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere" (The United Nations, 2015a). ANZ's CJS is of particular importance when analysing discrimination as some of the most marginalised, stigmatised, disadvantaged and discriminated against societal groups are in prison (Bentley, 2014;Carlton & Segrave, 2016;Gibson, 2022;McIntosh & Curcic, 2020;McIntosh & Workman, 2017;Russell et al, 2021). Furthermore, those who have been incarcerated experience increased discrimination both during their imprisonment and upon release.…”

Gender Inequality and Discrimination within Aotearoa New Zealand’s Criminal Justice System: Some Professional Support Workers’ Perspectives

Sustainable Development Goal number five, ‘Gender Equality’ aims to achieve gender equality for all women and girls by eliminating discrimination (The United Nations, 2015a). Despite this goal, gender equality remains one of the most widespread inequalities internationally and within Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ). Gender inequality is evident within ANZ’s criminal justice system (CJS), and this contributes to development inequalities within ANZ society. Understanding the cycle of carceral entrapment can inform more sensitive approaches to ending discrimination against women and girls and lead to more gender-equitable outcomes. Although female-focused prison research is increasing, there remains limited literature on women’s experiences within the CJS (Gibson, 2022; Kale, 2020). Furthermore, very few studies focus on the perspectives of professionals working with incarcerated women and/or women who have been released. These workers hold insights from their years of close association with women navigating the carceral continuum. In response to this gap, this thesis draws from the experiences of these professional support workers to answer the overarching research question, “How does Aotearoa New Zealand’s criminal justice system operate to reduce discrimination, in alignment with good development policy and practice?” To answer this question, a feminist geopolitical approach was used. Primary data was generated through storytelling interviews with eleven professional support workers around ANZ. Interviews explored what the professional support workers understood of women’s experiences within the carceral continuum and how they understood these to be related to gendered and racialised inequalities. Findings reveal that discrimination is apparent at every stage of a woman’s journey through the CJS. Dominant narratives, power imbalances and control, are key factors prohibiting ANZ’s CJS from being more gender equal. This study shows that ANZ’s CJS could learn from international development policies and practices to better respond to gendered inequalities and reduce discrimination.
