Locked up in America: new reports hit at costs of incarcerating women
New reports from the Council on Criminal Justice highlight that incarcerating women in the U.S. costs 75% more than men, with their prison population rising over 600% since 1980. The reports suggest reducing women's sentences could save tax dollars without significantly increasing violent crime.
