Justice system makes many women reoffend, report finds
The criminal justice system is failing women in Wales and causing many of them to re-offend, a cross-party Welsh Parliament inquiry has concluded.found that sentences as short as a week were normal, causing huge disruption to women's lives but with no opportunity for rehabilitation.
Prisons, courts and parole come under the UK government, while services dealing with substance misuse, physical and mental health and housing are a matter for Welsh ministers. Such sentences, she said, were "traumatic" for the individuals, "devastating for their children" and "eye-wateringly expensive".
