'What is it here that makes us think that locking up women is worse?'
James O'Brien explores why society perceives incarceration for women as ‘different’ from that for men, as Labour states that prison ‘isn’t working for women.’ kam @kamy5787, 'yeah, okay, this is a good policy, but it should be applied to the men's estate anyone who has ever reaserched prison systems this isn't in the top 10 problems.' Stephen @Stphn_42, 'Maybe prison doesn't work for men or women. Prison should be a last resort to be when it's necessary for public protection. A good justice system should focus on rehabilitation, not just locking people up and treating that as a solution.' Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police @liarpoliticianz
Only Communist @UKLabour, 'want to release criminal women. I don't care if they are mothers, should have thought about it before the crime!'
Bex @BexBitchley, 'Women don't tend to be violent. They are usually in prison for theft,drugs or prostitution. all due to poverty and mental health.'
Kier Moore 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 @_KierMoore_ A good report here explains the answers.

Firstly, there are fewer women in prison than men. Secondly, women tend to receive shorter prison sentences than men and often for less serious crimes. In contrast, men and women both experience the same general feelings of aggression but culture and society has shaped our behaviours - women tend to lead with emotions and men tend to lead through violence and are less able to control emotions, leading to more men committing violent acts than women. Female offenders are often among the most vulnerable in society and have varied and complex needs. Many have experienced mental health problems, substance misuse, homelessness, abuse and trauma in their lives. Women are also often sentenced to custody for non-violent, low-level but persistent offences, and are more likely to be sentenced for short periods. Women are much more likely to be a primary carers than men in the criminal justice system. The way women are represented in society is they come from a more softer background so when we see a woman go to prison, we have more sympathy and empathy for that.

My wife is a Dr of Psychology, previously a clinician and Criminologist. Presently she advises various governments on policy.

Women are viewed poorly in the UK judicial system, just a fact. Ye Olde Patriarchy lives and breathes.

Here is another interesting one, this from America. An African American (AA) is 4x's more likely to be incarcerated than a White American.

The mandatory Federal laws are also often set up on a race basis, so that AA's will get substantially longer prison sentences than Whites, for the same crime.

If someone is on a charge which attracts the death penalty, who is more likely to get the death penalty? An AA or White person? The White person.

Why? Well, there has been research and the short answer seems to be that the juries which hand down the sentence believe that the White person _'Should have known better'_

It is a strange world.
