Women are the fastest growing pop. in our mass incarceration system. At the federal level, we must invest in programming that addresses the unique needs currently incarcerated women face + supportive services prior to entry so that they are kept out of prison in the first place.https://twitter.com/verainstitute/status/1201183020197171200 …

Needed some context.. “Women are the fastest growing pop. in our mass incarceration system.” Cute tweet!
Sure, context is always welcome but the context you provide, if we're talking full picture, only includes federal prisons. Even then 7.1% of that population in 2019 is female compared to the 6.8% in 2015.
