Alternatives to Prison for Women in Oklahoma

Are You Facing Prison?

In Oklahoma, most prison inmates are women. Drug crimes are usually the reason, with fraud and theft following. Women often have fewer resources than men to obtain legitimate work, and often have children for whom they would commit any crime to help or an addiction to support.

There is Another Way

There are alternatives to prison for non-violent offenders developed by the state. They focus on helping pregnant women and mothers get addiction treatment so they can care for their children rather than having those children go into foster homes. Women in Recovery trains women in life skills and provides substance abuse treatment. ReMerge is another similar program.
