Women's Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie
"This report provides a first-of-its-kind detailed view of the 219,000
women incarcerated in the United States, and how they fit into the even
larger picture of correctional control. Since 2014, the Prison Policy
Initiative has quantified the number of people incarcerated in the
United States, and calculated the breakdown of people held by each
correctional system by offense in an annual Whole Pie: Mass Incarceration
report. This report, done in collaboration with the ACLU’s Campaign
for Smart Justice, finally provides similar data on women incarcerated
in the Unites States. We break the data down to show the various
correctional systems that control women, and to examine why women in the various systems of confinement are locked up."
