ANNOTATION: “Why do far too many women keep cycling through the criminal justice system, wrestling with persistent mental health and substance abuse issues, unable to find a footing in the community and reclaim their lives?” This publication answers this question and offers a solution—the “Sequential Intercept Model.” This strategy concentrates on five “intercept” points that women could have with the criminal justice system. At each point assistance is offered to these women that enable them to begin their personal restoration. The five intercept points described are: law enforcement and emergency services; arrest and initial court hearing; jails, prisons, and specialty courts; discharge planning—reentry to community from jails or prisons; and community corrections (probation or parole).
