Is gender taken into consideration when someone is classified and or placed in programs?
The first principle in becoming gender responsive is to acknowledge that gender matters. The data is quite clear, women and men enter the criminal justice system through different means, respond to supervision and custody differently, have different needs, and experience behavioral change in gender-based ways. The Idaho Department of Correction continues to provide a leadership role in ensuring that an integrated and comprehensive gender-responsive female offender program and services are provided to meet the needs of female offenders.
