Answer to Question 1

Female offenders typically have a troubled background and unstable family lives. More than half of the women in prison have been on welfare sometime during their adult life. Many female offenders have been victims of abuse and harsh discipline. Sexual abuse, domestic violence, and physical abuse are common among most female offenders. Female offenders have a high rate of psychological, health, and substance abuse issues.

Answer to Question 2

Women are committing more serious crimes compared to the past; sentencing changes have helped put more women behind bars. Mandatory minimum sentences provide the same punishment for conspiracy to commit crimes. Approximately half of the women in prison today have been convicted of conspiracy under mandatory sentencing laws.
