Since the 1980s, the number of women incarcerated has increased by more than 750%—more than any other group. Yet, women are often overlooked in discussions of justice reform.
She described the struggles she faced upon leaving prison, specifically around finding housing. Grayson also stated that “90% of women [in prison] have been sexually abused”—yet too often, prisons fail to address this trauma.
“There is no gender-specific reentry; there is just reentry,” Grayson said—meaning women sent back into society are lacking the particular tools they need to recover. The gender discrimination women routinely face is exacerbated in the prison system, leaving the most vulnerable women in even more danger. Women are often singled out for largely gender-specific crimes, like prostitution. Grayson noted the irony of prostitutes being arrested for selling sex, while male purchasers are often not reprimanded.
Despite the wide reach of these issues, Ratajowski pointed out they are seldom discussed, especially in significant political events like the upcoming presidential election.
