Abstract
The current statistics of the incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and the subsequent impact on their health and well-being are appalling. When referring to the health and wellbeing of our mob it must be recognised and understood that connection to land, culture, ancestry, kinship and community play a vital role in our physical, social and emotional health and wellbeing. This calls for culturally-safe models of care to support and advocate for these women in custody in collaboration with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) to address health and social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB), and to break the cycle of incarceration.1
