📊 BY THE NUMBERS 📊

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:
💰 1 in 4 women in jail are there because they can't afford bail
💊 60% have a substance use disorder
🧠 75% have significant mental health needs
✊🏾 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. 💙

Which statistic stands out to you most, and why?
