Article 4: Indigenous Women in the Correctional System: Insights from Community Support Workers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to present the insights used by support workers in the community who assist Indigenous women involved in the Canadian correctional system (e.g., social workers, addictions counsellors, cultural support workers). Recognizing the disproportionately high rates of incarceration and recidivism for Indigenous women within the Canadian context, the authors contend more must be done to support Indigenous women. The paper presents a qualitative arts-based study that examines support workers' experiences; specifically, navigating racists systems (i.e., corrections), engaging in accompaniment as an approach to support, and the significance of self-care. The discussion emphasizes a need for collective healing, with calls to: 1) Increase culturally-relevant services within the prison by developing and maintaining partnerships with outside agencies and Indigenous communities with women involved in corrections; 2) Reconsider the focus on rehabilitation, which is argued to be a mechanism of colonization; and 3) Create an Indigenous-women-centred place of healing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
