Criminal justice reform efforts are failing incarcerated women and girls.

Women are now the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population.

The incarceration of women and girls is not about crime. It’s about vulnerability to violence, poverty, and racism.

The U.S. is the global leader in the mass incarceration of women and girls.

“It’s not justice reform if we leave women and girls behind.”

~Jill McCorkel, Ph.D., Founder & Executive Director
