Our next speaker, our Women's Justice Project Director Julia Yoshimoto will be talking about our #HerStoryOregon Survey of women incarcerated at Coffee Creek in #Oregon. That's just one of the initiatives our WJP has launched. #WIPConf ojrc.info/herstory-orego…
Our #HerStoryOregon Survey reports so far (more to come) focus on women's experience of intimate partner violence and also mental health, physical health & addiction. #WIPConf ojrc.info/herstory-orego…
We're grateful to @PSUCriminology and Professor Mark Leymon for their participation in the HerStory Survey, laying the groundwork for ethical and well-organized research, and collating and analyzing data for survey results. #WIPConf
@PSUCriminology Some major trends in what we saw of what women wanted to talk about in the survey were intimate partner violence, mental/physical health & addiction, parenting/motherhood. #HerStoryOregon #WIPConf
@PSUCriminology 1/3 women surveyed were houseless at the time of arrest. #HerStoryOregon #WIPConf
@PSUCriminology This graphic shows survey results related to histories of trauma reported by women. #HerStoryOregon #WIPConf
@PSUCriminology This graphic shows rates of intimate partner violence/#domesticviolence contributing to women's involvement with the criminal justice system #HerStoryOregon #WIPConf
@PSUCriminology #Domesticviolence can lead women to the criminal justice system thru direct and indirect routes. Direct could be coercion into committing crimes. Indirect could be using drugs/alcohol to cope with trauma and subsequently committing crime to obtain drugs. #WIPConf #HerStoryOregon

@PSUCriminology Our next speakers are women currently incarcerated at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility. Out of respect for their privacy, we will not live tweet their remarks. We're grateful to our guests for their willingness to share and to @ORCorrections for allowing them to come. #WIPConf
