While the overall jail population in the U.S has increased nearly five-fold since 1970, the number of women in jails has increased fourteen-fold, making women the fastest-growing population in jails. Watch this webinar to learn from the Vera Institute of Justice, St. Louis County, Mo., and Solano County, Calif., about what is driving the increase in women’s incarceration and ways that counties can reverse the trend. Note that upon clicking the link, you'll need to fill out a brief registration form; however, the webinar will be available immediately after submitting this in the same window.
