(Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images) Could an answer to the prison overcrowding crisis be to let out women offenders? Two writers go head to headYes: We are locking up women who’ve been failed by the systemRight now, prisons contain women who shouldn’t be there. Prison doesn’t work and it harms women. Almost 70 per cent of women in prison have experienced domestic abuse, and our research tells us that many of those women were forced or coerced into offending. Many women are very mentally unwell and the self-harm rates in prisons are shockingly high. Others are there because poverty, substance misuse and homelessness led them into offending.  Most women entering prison to serve a sentence (63 per cent) have committed a non-violent offence. About 900 women are in prison on remand (meaning they haven’t been sentenced). Around two thirds of women remanded at Magistrates’ Courts end up not being sentenced to prison. When in prison, women lose their homes, their jobs and nine times out of ten their children will have to leave home. Those are severe punishments and they are all factors that stop women from rebuilding their lives and ending offending. \n\nThere are alternatives available, women’s centres work with women in the community as an alternative to prison. This means women keep their housing, children, medical appointments and get support to address the root causes of offending. It helps them, their children and families and the wider community. Women in Prison supported 4,000 women last year in prison, through the gate and in the community – our approach works and is a fraction of the cost of imprisonment.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Thinking - City AM Opinion Newsletter\nGet weekly sparky insight and expert commentary on markets, entrepreneurship and innovation from City AM’s Opinion Editor, delivered every Saturday.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe government is facing a crucial moment in time with overcrowding in prisons. There’s one solution that could really help, stop putting women in prison who shouldn’t be there and take the bold step to rebuild a justice system that works for women.  Lucy Russell is head of policy and public affairs at Women in Prison","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.47.1","shortVersion":"4.47.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2657978255","isCrawlerRequest":true}
