d\u00e9p\u00eache AP<\/a>, concerne l’augmentation tr\u00e8s rapide de la population f\u00e9minine.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abMen still far outnumber women in prisons and jails, but the female population is growing faster. Over the past year, the female population in state or federal prison increased 2.6 percent while the number of male inmates rose 1.9 percent. By year’s end, 7 percent of all inmates were women. The gender figures do not include inmates in local jails.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbToday’s figures fail to capture incarceration’s impact on the thousands of children left behind by mothers in prison, Marc Mauer, the executive director of the Sentencing Project, a Washington-based group supporting criminal justice reform, said in a statement. Misguided policies that create harsher sentences for nonviolent drug offenses are disproportionately responsible for the increasing rates of women in prisons and jails.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbFrom 1995 to 2003, inmates in federal prison for drug offenses have accounted for 49 percent of total prison population growth.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbRacial disparities among prisoners persist. In the 25-29 age group, 8.1 percent of black men about one in 13 are incarcerated, compared with 2.6 percent of Hispanic men and 1.1 percent of white men. And it’s not much different among women. By the end of 2005, black women were more than twice as likely as Hispanics and over three times as likely as white women to be in prison.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
