Research on female incarceration is critical to understanding the full consequences of mass incarceration and to unraveling the policies and practices that lead to their criminalization.
The female incarcerated population stands over seven times as high than in 1980.

DC is home to 700k residents. It is a beautify city, and the only place that truely feels like home.
Crime is at a historic 30 year low. We deserve statehood. We deserve representation in congress. We deserve autonomy.
DC can govern itself.
