Women in Prison
by TChris
Are judges more likely than they once were to send women to prison?
Women made up 7 percent of inmates in state and federal prisons last year and accounted for nearly one in four arrests, the government reported Sunday. ... In 1995, women made up 6.1 percent of inmates in those facilities.
Overall, the population of our prison nation grew 1.9 percent in 2004, with 2,267,787 individuals behind bars.
