• Finding Self-Respect for Battered Women.
• For many survivors it may be at the root of many socially maladaptive behaviors.
• The body of related literature amassed in the ensuing years contains little, however, which directly addresses the concerns of incarcerated victims of abuse: battered women in prison.
• Controversy has long surrounded the issues of abuse and victimization, particularly as applied to those who break the law, and most especially to women who commit crimes under the duress of abuse, or who kill or assault the men who abuse them. Our criminal justice system is engaged in a continuing struggle to balance compassion for the abused against a visceral fear that acknowledgment of reduced culpability sends the wrong message to offenders.
• The correlation between domestic violence and women's criminal conduct is demonstrated in numerous studies. Statistics indicate that as many as 88 percent of women in prison today have been victims of domestic violence and sexual or physical abuse prior to their incarceration, either as children or adults. ... "' This correlation is particularly important in rendering in-custody assistance to battered women who have killed or assaulted their abusers.
• It is exceedingly difficult for the average person to understand the daunting challenges faced by abused women in prison.
• Battered women frequently report to researchers and therapists that "the psychological harm is much more significant than the physical harm. ... ' The development and nurturing of self-esteem in these women is thus absolutely vital in motivating them toward, then sustaining them through, recovery.
• The majority of women convicted of such offenses have no criminal record, no history of violence. ... Engulfed in remorse, paralyzed by fear, and convinced of her utter worthlessness in the face of the State's apparent willingness to kill her for having fought back against her abuser, she is likely to capitulate and enter a plea of guilty, just to get the process over with.
• Having thus condemned herself in every sense, it is extremely difficult for her to focus inward to activate her survival instinct, and make the best of her lot in prison. ... She is, in her own eyes, unworthy of the effort to save herself, totally at fault for everything that has happened to her-just as her abuser always told her she was. ...
• This, their, is the starting point for battered women sent to prison as punishment-punishment for striking back to save themselves and their children, for breaking under the pressure of more threats, more beatings, more sexual abuse in the guise of conjugal relations. It is the purpose of the prison's battered women's group to assist these women in their efforts to overcome the effects of combined negative messages, to cope affirmatively as survivors rather than victims, and to foster the growth that will enable them to avoid violence in future relationships.

• People are afraid to know that women are raped in here and left to die," Marcia Bunney says. ...
•     She sits in the cavernous day room at Chowchilla's Central California Women's Facility which, with its sister institution, Valley State Prison for Women, makes up the world's largest women's prison complex.
•      Another lifer, 41-year-old Charisse Shumate, tells of a different kind of abuse: "Since I've been here I've seen eight deaths, and none of the women were treated right" by the prison medical system, she says.
• Both are serving life sentences for killing the men who they said abused or sexually humiliated them.
•      Both are plaintiffs in a class-action suit alleging that state prisons have failed to provide adequate medical care for women held at CCWF and the California Institution for Women near Chino. ...
•     Women have become the fastest growing segment of the state's prison population, increasing more than 4 percent faster in recent years than males. The number of women locked up in the state's four state prisons increased by 450 percent between 1980 and 1993. The state now incarcerates more than 10,000 women.
• The report charges that male guards are sexually abusing female prisoners with near impunity in state prisons from California to Georgia.
• "There are male guards coming into showers to view women undressed in ways unnecessary for security. ...
•      However, doing so would be more difficult in California than in many other states because convicts must confront the person they are accusing of abuse before filing a formal complaint.
• If the women aren't willing to identify their attacker, then the case is not going to get to court. ...
•      "I don't think male correctional officers in California are sexually abusing women with impunity. ... "But if you bring it to the attention of the superintendent or warden of the institution, there should be a follow-up investigation. ...
•      Among those guards who have been punished is Harold Anderson, a former sergeant at the California Institution for Women. ... Corey Weinstein, a San Francisco general practitioner, have said women at high-security units at both Chowchilla prisons complain that they have been observed naked in showers, that male guards observe the pat searches and make lewd comments about the women.

• Student finds her passion giving 'voice' to women in prison.
• With a double major in community studies and women’s studies, Kolleen Duley first learned about the needs of women in prison when she took a course called Women’s Health Activism. ...
• But that’s what happened to Kolleen Duley, a senior at UCSC who was recruited by producers of The Sharon Osbourne Show to discuss her work with women survivors of domestic violence who are jailed for crimes they commit related to their abuse. ...
• Although media attention, including Osbourne’s, tends to focus on the small number of women who kill their abusive husbands, domestic violence is the top reason women commit crimes, according to advocates for battered women. ...
• Duley met Osbourne during a visit to the California Institution for Women in Chino, where she meets regularly with members of the prison’s Battered Women’s Support Group.
• But Duley recognized the potential opportunity to draw media attention to the plight of battered women in prison, and she initiated a conversation with one of the show’s producers.
• “They even have a ‘green room,’” laughed Duley, as she recalled the studio’s lounge for guests, the first-class flights, limousines, and makeup.

• first learned about the needs of women in prison during her junior year, when she took a course called Women’s Health Activism from Nancy Stoller, a professor of community studies who is now Duley’s academic adviser. ...
• In April, Duley began a six-month field study with Free Battered Women (FBW), a San Francisco-based nonprofit that focuses on the needs of incarcerated survivors of domestic violence. FBW works on multiple fronts to increase public understanding of how domestic violence contributes to crime and to provide support to women in prison. ...
• The group’s Habeas Project lobbies for the release of incarcerated women who had been abused but could not present the abuse as evidence during their trial. FBW has helped four women gain their release since legislation allowed women convicted of murder before 1992 to challenge their convictions. ...

• LOS ANGELES (WOMENSENEWS) )--The recent parole of Cheryl Sellers, imprisoned for 17 years at the California Institution for Women after killing her abusive husband, has once again cast the spotlight on the issue of clemency for battered women.
• Sellers was convicted of first-degree murder for shooting her husband in 1983 as he lay in bed at home. The physical, sexual and psychological abuse started on her wedding night and continued for more than four years. ...
• Numbers vary on how many abused women have received clemency over the years. According to the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women, at least 124 women from 23 states have been freed since 1978, many of them in the early 1990s when there were several mass clemency actions. Estimates of the number of women in prison for murdering their abusers varies from 800 to 4,000, according Elizabeth Leonard, a sociology professor at Vanguard University in California.
• "It's remarkable that Cheryl is being released," says attorney Olivia Wang, coordinator for the California Coalition for Battered Women in Prison. After the initial burst of public attention and clemency grants in the early 1990s, the movement to release battered women from prison has lost momentum and few women have been freed in recent years.
• California Leads the New Movement.
• The renewed interest in clemency in California stems from two new state laws passed in the last two years.
• One requires the state parole board to review petitions for clemency and determine at the time of a woman's hearing if she was suffering from "battered women's syndrome" when she committed the crime.
• Battered women's syndrome, defined in 1984 by psychotherapist Lenore Walker, is not a mental illness, but a theory that draws upon the principles of learned helplessness to explain why some women are unable to leave their abusers. ...
• The other new law allows women prosecuted before 1992 to apply to reopen their cases if they believe they suffered from battered women's syndrome at the time of the crime.
• Thirty-six battered women's cases were reviewed last year after the legislation went into effect; 14 women were found to have suffered from battered women's syndrome by the state parole board, and eight of these women were recommended for parole in the last seven months.
• Davis turned down three of the women and has so far approved only one, Cheryl Sellers. ...

• WILSON: WOMEN PRISONERS’ HEALTH-CARE AND “REVENGE JUSTICE” by Marcia Bunney and Charla Greene .
• MARCIA BUNNEY, CENTRAL CALIFORNIA WOMEN’S FACILITY, CHOWCHILLA, CA: .
• California’s prison system has not merely grown; it has metastasized, from a dozen facilities in 1982 to nearly 35 at this writing. ...
• Part of that growth was “necessary”, of course, to accommodate the enormous increase in the number of women sent to prison. It was, and is, an increase primarily rooted in the so-called war on drugs, as demonstrated by statistics in studies illuminating the disproportionate number of women imprisoned for drug-related offenses. This manipulated rise in women’s incarceration has had devastating health-care consequences for those trapped in the system, particularly women with serious and/or chronic illnesses. ...
• In 1982, California’s sole prison for female felons was the California Institution for Women (CIW). ... This crisis conveniently coincided with the CDC’s efforts to garner support - and funding - for rapacious prison expansion. ...
• This perversion of manifest destiny has resulted in a total of four prison facilities built to house female felons; the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) began to house prison “overflow” in the early 1980’s, and continues to do so. All lack the capacity to meaningfully address women’s substance abuse problems - an underlying cause of many serious health problems prisoners present upon entering custody. ...
• A system burgeoning with substance abusers places a tremendous demand upon medical resources, a demand which the CDC has long failed/refused to meet, both in caring for prisoners suffering from conditions rooted in (or exacerbated by) substance abuse, and in refusing to develop adequate counseling resources to assist women attempting to overcome the underlying problems that led so many to abuse drugs and alcohol in the first place. Ironically, CRC, originally conceived as a facility for individuals under civil addict commitment, has allowed the “bed space” crisis to derail its substance abuse agenda. ...
• What has not changed in all this time, however, is the fact that women prisoners in California receive inferior medical care, care so poor that comparable performance in a community facility would have resulted in prompt sanctions, including closure of premises and suspension/revocation of licenses, accompanied by aggressive litigation for damages. People outside prison view such action as a matter of course, and applaud the efforts of citizens who press for change. ...
• The decision to seek adequate medical care for oneself is a person matter; it is quite another to come to the realization that there is no hope of resolving such issues within the prison facility, and make the pivotal choice to approach outside advocates for support and assistance. ...
• I observed that women with treatable conditions, such as asthma, were dying. ...
