“…Typical charges include public order, drug, or property offenses (James 2004). Often, these women are jailed because they do not have the economic resources necessary to secure their release (Harrison and Beck 2005;James 2004). Poverty is thus a common dominator of many women held in jail awaiting the disposition of their cases.…”

“…In a national sample, women accounted for over 12% of the jail population (Harrison and Beck 2005). This suggests that over two million women are admitted to jails in the United States each year.…”

“…This suggests that over two million women are admitted to jails in the United States each year. Further, the number of women in jail has increased by 7% in the past 10 years, while male population has increased by only 4.2% (Harrison and Beck 2005).…”

“…Few women in jail actually go to prison. Most women are held in jail for only a short period time before they return to the community (Harrison and Beck 2005;James 2004). Many women repeatedly cycle in and out of jail on minor charges (James 2004).…”

Women and Men in Jail: Attitudes Towards and Experiences of Domestic Violence

et al. 2007

This study explores the pre-arrest domestic violence victimization and attitudes towards domestic violence reported by women and men confined in a Midwestern metropolitan jail. Results indicated that women in the jail sample had more fear for the safety of battered women than men in the jail sample. Women in jail were more likely than men in jail to view the legal system as a deterrent to domestic violence. Logistic regression models were constructed to explore associations between jail detainees' pre-arrest experiences of domestic violence and their gender, age, education, race, parental status and other violent victimizations. The variables associated with pre-arrest domestic violence victimization were being a woman, a parent, a victim rape and a victim of threats with a deadly weapon.

“…2 E-mail address: rosa_minhyo_cho@brown.edu. 1 According to reports from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (Mumola, 2000;Harrison and Beck, 2005), the majority of women entering State prisons are unmarried (83 percent), have monthly income of less than $1000 during the month prior to current arrest (69 percent), have on average 2.4 children under the age of 18. These women also suffer from substance abuse problems, where about 65 percent of mothers in State prison are reported to have been using drugs in the month before their offense.…”

Chemical, the US Army, major pharmaceutical companies, and other sponsors conducted a wide variety of research on prisoners-a captive, vulnerable, and easily accessible population. 1,2 During that time, approximately 90% of all pharmaceutical research was conducted on prisoners, who also were subjected to biochemical research ranging from testing diet drinks and simple detergents to studies involving dioxin and chemical warfare agents. 3 From 1962 to 1966, for example, 33 pharmaceutical companies tested 153 experimental drugs at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia, including a Retin-A (tretinoin) study in which researchers did not seek informed consent and prisoners were not adequately treated for pain. 4 By the mid-1970s, biomedical research in prisons sharply declined as knowledge of the exploitation of prisoners began to emerge and the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research was formed. 5 Federal regulations to protect human subjects of research were established in 1974 and modified and codified in 1981. 6 The regulations were revised in 1991 as the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects and became known as the Common Rule. The Common Rule applies to research funded by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS); to private institutions that undertake a Federal-Wide Assurance of Compliance; and, with broad exceptions, to 16 additional federal agencies. 6 The US Food and Drug Administration has similar regulations for research involving the products it regulates. The Common Rule contains requirements for institutional review board (IRB) review, informed consent, and risk/benefit analysis.These regulations also provide extra protections for particularly vulnerable populations: pregnant women, fetuses, and neonates (subpart B); prisoners (subpart C); and children (subpart D). Subpart C, promulgated in 1978 in response to recommendations from the national commission, 7 strictly limits research involving prisoners. However, federal agencies (except for the DHHS, Central Intelligence Agency, and Social Security Administration) have not adopted subpart C, perhaps because it is so restrictive. In 1981, Food and Drug Administration regulations spe-
