WOMEN IN PRISON: Do Prisons Correct & Protect? (Full Documentary)
REMEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE! → bit.ly/2CwckC3
"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?

Waiting on this one, as I was a woman in prison in UK. I never had a bad experience and if anything I did more for me , in prison than I did when I was out. Don't wanna go back but I am quite glad I went, changed me. Although a month after I went in, my dad died, then 6 months before my release my husband died, my 5 kids ( teenagers) were left to arrange their dad's funeral arrangements, I wasn't allowed to help. Although the prison staff allowed me to attend ( in handcuffs) and I spoke to my husband on the phone as he passed away ( he was in a coma) my daughter had me on speaker whilst I spoke to their dad. He shed a tear then passed . That nearly killed me, I wanted to die myself , was in a bad way for a good few months, but the staff in prison put me on an ACCT. I was watched and checked on constantly. The other women , 3 especially, pulled me through to the other side . If it wasn't for Ann, Sheryl or June I wouldn't be here now

Also the intro is back dated. Prisons are not their to support, reform, thats a lie. Prisons have always been their for Punishment on all levels..
An updated version would have been much better than this. Lose the advertisements.

A woman is a person who was born with a uterus, and has real monthly periods, also our bone structure defines us along with chromosomes. If the trans community get incarcerated then they should have the surgery to go in the male or female jail, in other words, have your genitalia determine what side of the jail or bathroom or sports to place them.
