This article examines the major criminogenic needs (education, vocational development, substance abuse education, financial planning, and sex offense remediation) and noncriminogenic needs (health care, family connections, and safety) of women incarcerated at a Canadian medium-security women’s correctional institution. A total of 27 respondents, including inmates, correctional officers, treatment providers, and administrators, were interviewed between April and June 1999. Gaps are identified between inmates’ treatment needs and the degree to which programs and services are delivered. The article concludes with a discussion of existing problems and the potential for improving initiatives aimed at effective rehabilitation for female offenders.

Key Words: corrections • rehabilitation • women • programming
