Name of Submitting League

LWV of Montana

Title of Study

Criminal Justice System Position

Summary of Study

The Montana League of Women Voters believes the State of Montana should take a new direction with corrections especially regarding women and families. Of great significance and concern is our overall finding that there is a need to move in the direction of parent-child reunification in cases of formerly custodial caregiving parents. There is a related need to distinguish between “violent” and “non-violent” in classifications of women based on a realistic threat to society.
