"WOMEN IN PRISON" examines the condition of women in prisons, and shows how women are often treated brutally in prisons. Reported by Ann Medina and Produced by Joe DeCola, it explores plans which put women offenders under community surveillance rather than behind bars.
This important documentary also examines female incarceration trends and finds areas of both concern and hope. While the imprisonment rate for African American women was nearly twice that of white women in 2020, this disparity represents a sharp decline from 2000 when Black women were six times as likely to be imprisoned. Since then Black women's imprisonment rate has decreased by 68% while white women’s rate has increased by 12%.
Between 1980 and 2020, the number of incarcerated women increased by more than 475%, rising from a total of 26,326 in 1980 to 152,854 in 2020 in the United States alone.
Gender roles and cultural expectations mean that women in prison face greater stigma than men. In many countries women invariably visit their husbands in prison, but husbands rarely visit their partners. When women return home, they are often rejected by their communities and even by their families, and struggle to rebuild their lives socially and economically. Research on female incarceration is critical to understanding the full consequences of mass incarceration and to unraveling the policies and practices that lead to their criminalization.
So, do prisons correct and protect, or do they just punish well?
