Extant literature also suggests that women suffer disproportionate victimization at all life stages. The current study examines the prevalence and magnitude of the associations between ACEs, social support, and negative emotional states (that is, anxiety, depression, and stress) among a sample of incarcerated women\u2014a small but growing correctional population. Data were obtained from a survey of women incarcerated in two prisons in Spain (N = 174); survey questions elicited information on these women\u2019s emotional, physical, and sexual victimization during childhood in addition to their self-reported levels of social support and mental health. A series of analyses indicated that female inmates who reported ACEs similarly reported lower levels of social support and higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress as compared with nonvictimized women inmates. The findings reported here underscore the importance of attaining a fuller understanding of female inmates\u2019 histories of ACEs so that we can more accurately identify and, ideally, provide necessary services to those women at highest risk of mental health\u2013related problems during incarceration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/hsw\/hlz013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]],"date-time":"2019-07-11T15:09:56Z","timestamp":1562857796000},"page":"157-166","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Female
