A Few Facts that Prove Women’s Prison Is More Horrifying Than It Looks:
Policies unique to women
Many prisons do not have policies unique to women, and apply a universal system of screening and assessment to both men and women
Female Offenders
This lack of unique standards for female offenders often leads to higher risk classifications for women, which makes reentering society even more difficult.
Recidivism
Recidivism in women is often related to a lack of services and support system after they leave prison.
Even so, recidivism rates for women are much lower than for men. Despite lower recidivism rates, risk classifications for women leaving prisons are overestimate their danger to society, leading to difficulty getting housing and custody of children. The absence of any support system to assist women to reenter society after incarceration often leads to reoffending.

Transitioning
Transitioning back into society is more of a challenge for women.
There are very few resources for mothers after they leave prison. The children of female offenders are five times more likely to be imprisoned. The absence of a primary caregiver leads many children of imprisoned women to substance abuse and criminal behavior.
