Mental health profile of culturally and linguistically diverse (Cald) women entering New South Wales public prisons
Women in prison with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds are at higher risk of marginalisation, isolation, and discrimination than non-CALD women. Despite this, the mental health of CALD women in prison is under-researched and there is limited evidence to inform practice. This study aimed to investigate the mental health profile of CALD women entering New South Wales (NSW) public prisons. A retrospective cohort study utilisin…
Understanding healthcare utilisation for aboriginal people in New South Wales prisons with histories of self-harm and suicidal behaviour
Self-reporting self-harm/suicide at reception, on its own, is an unreliable predictor of future risk. Better identification of people with SHSB histories could support delivery of safer care for Aboriginal people. Establishing a therapeutic environment and offering comprehensive, culturally sensitive healthcare can help lower the risk of self-harm and suicide among people in prison
Intergenerational incarceration in New South Wales
This study uses data from two state-wide surveys conducted in NSW prisons and youth justice centres in 2015 to examine the epidemiology of intergenerational incarceration. One in six (16.9%) adults in prison and over half (52.6%) of young people in youth justice centres reported that a parent had been imprisoned. For Aboriginal participants, 32.0 percent of adults and 66.4 percent of young people reported a previously incarcerated parent. Women w…

Yet, there is limited research investigating service accessibility for this population. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating the characteristics of young people exiting prison on the 'Connections Program' (Connections) an…
