Identifying Program Needs of Women Detainees in a Jail Environment

Since the 1980s, the population of incarcerated women has been steadily increasing. Approximately 200,000 women are incarcerated in prisons and jails in the United States (Clarke, Phipps, Tong, Rose, and Gold, 2010). There is an increasing level of comorbidity among the population of incarcerated women, with the majority requiring mental health, physical health, substance abuse and pregnancy services at the time of their incarceration or soon afterwards. Incarcerated women face a number of challenges; they are cut off from their primary support system and their children. Their physical health deteriorates, they lack appropriate coping skills, and often experience withdrawal symptoms. The charges presented in this study were drug charges, driving under the influence, driving with revoked license, domestic battery, fraud, theft and other violent crimes. The literature is sparse concerning women detained in jail and the primary needs to be identified. This study sought to identify and understand what the most important need or service the detained woman perceived to be. Our sample consisted of women detained or sentenced at a local detention facility. The results revealed what the women identified as the most important programming need sought after while detained along with programming and resources needed in the community to assist in ceasing the cycle they are currently experiencing

Two new species of Hoya R.Br. (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae) from Borneo

Two new Hoya R.Br. species from Borneo are described and illustrated. The first, Hoya ruthiae Rodda was collected in Sabah on Bukit Baturong, a limestone outcrop. It is one of the few species in the genus to have clear exudate. It is compared with the morphologically related Hoya uncinata Teijsm. and Binn. The other, Hoya bakoensis Rodda, was collected in the kerangas forests of Bako National Park. It belongs to Hoya section Acanthostemma (Bl.) Kloppenb., a section with numerous members in the Philippines but under-represented in Borneo
