Introduction though there are still more men than women involved in our nations justice systems, the rate of growth of the womens population has vastly increased. In fact, the bureau of justice statistics data show that between 1980 and 2019, the number of incarcerated women (in both jails and prisons) increased by more than 700%. In 1980, approximately 13,000 women in the u. s. Past estimates indicate that 58% of women in prison [10] and 80% of women in jail [11] have minor children, with two children on average. Compared to men, women have distinct trajectories into the criminal justice system. Females follow unique pathways into the criminal justice system compared to males. Constant domination from prison officers and instances of rape and sexual violence reflects the poor surveillance system in female prisons. This report provides a detailed view of the 190,600 women and girls incarcerated in the united states and how they fit into the even broader picture of correctional control. We pull together data from a number of government agencies and break down the number of women and girls held by each correctional system, by specific offense, in 446 state prisons, 27 federal prisons, 3,116 local jails.
