Document Summary
Looking at ashley smith"s case brings the question of physical discipline in prisons (which is illegal) or the treatment of women in general. The emphasis in research is on men their recidivism, etc. Research on women in the system is much harder because there are so few of them. Overgeneralization: add women and stir (we take theoretical explanations and assume that what works for men works for women i. e. strip searching has the same impact on prisoners, no matter the gender. ) The studies were hardly being done in the usa and weren"t at all in canada can"t even try to say this happened here, so we"ll apply the same thing there . Things like strip searching, exposure to tasers, mace and pepper spray. These are almost unanswerable because of the lack of data. Federal prison; segregation; tasers; forced transfers death; no. Youth detention no treatment chemical restraints and sedation staff response.
