š BY THE NUMBERS š
The female incarceration rate in the U.S. has increased by more than 700% since 1980 - nearly double the rate for men.
Here's what this looks like:
š° 1 in 4 women in jail are there because they can't afford bail
š 60% have a substance use disorder
š§ 75% have significant mental health needs
āš¾ Women of color are disproportionately impacted by every stage of the system
These numbers represent real women with real stories - women who deserve dignity, support, and a chance to rebuild their lives.
At CCT, we believe in addressing the "why" behind incarceration and providing the comprehensive support that creates lasting change. š
