Book excerpt: An increasing body of evidence tells us that the overwhelming majority of women in jails and prisons have experienced trauma that has scarred their minds and hearts. They may have survived rape, assault, or childhood sexual abuse, or they may have witnessed violence done to others. Their experiences in the criminal justice system often add new trauma and deepen their wounds. This paper explains how the Sequential Intercept Model can benefit women facing or within the criminal justice system and help authorities prevent re-traumatization.
