Female offenders experience a variety of mental health issues, commonly including depression and anxiety (NICIS). Studies have indicated that women in drug treatment programs also tend to report mental health problems such as physiological distress and post-traumatic stress disorder that are related to substance abuse. I hope that the therapeutic community's drug treatment will in some way influence Doe to admit not only that he has a substance abuse problem, but that he needs help for poor impulse control.

Help keep prison staff, prisoners, volunteers and visitors (NICIS) safe.
