A new report from the @SentencingProj shows that between 1980 and 2016, the number of women incarcerated in American jails and prisons increased by more than 700 percent, from 26,378 in 1980 to 213,722 in 2016. https://t.co/APGAJLTS5e

Out of 213,722 women incarcerated in 2016, nearly half (102,300) were in jail, and a earlier study suggests that more than half of the women in local jails likely have not been convicted of a crime.
