美国监狱中关押罪犯的数量位居全球之首,监狱中女犯的数量同样庞大。女犯矫正制度成为美国矫正制度的重要组成部分。由于女犯的特殊性,在矫正制度上与男性罪犯有一定的差别,有一定的女性特色,有些做法值得我们借鉴。但是美国女犯矫正制度存在很多问题,结果导致女性罪犯释放后重新犯罪率较高,矫正效果很不理想。 The number of prisoners in the United States prisons ranks first in the world, the same number of prisoners in the large number of women. The correctional system of women prisoners has become an important part of the system of correction in the United States. Due to the particularity of women prisoners, there are some differences between correctional system and male criminals, and they have certain feminine features. Some practices deserve our reference. However, there are many problems in the American correctional system for female prisoners. As a result, the rate of recidivism after the release of female criminals is relatively high, and the corrective effect is not satisfactory.
