WOMEN AND GIRLS SERVING LIFE SENTENCES Women and Criminal Justice 20: 302-322. In a national survey conducted by The Sentencing Project of people serving life without parole for offenses committed as youth, we found that prior to incarceration, 80% of female respondents had experienced physical abuse, 77% sexual abuse, and 84% witnessed violence at home. INVISIBLE PUNISHMENT: THE COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES OF MASS Invisible Punishment reveals how the two million imprisoned Americans and their families are being punished by factors well beyond incarceration.. In these pages, leading scholars and advocates in criminal justice explore the far-reaching consequences of thirty years of “get tough” policies on prisoners, on ex-felons, and on families and communities who have committed no crimes.

Nicole D. Porter. While the COVID-19 pandemic presents challenges for voters during the 2020 election cycle, voting access for the 700,000 people held in local jails around the country has long been critically compromised.

To end mass incarceration we must address life sentences. A record one of every seven people in U.S. prisons is serving a life sentence.
