so are. you. in the last 4 days. in the last 4 decades state prison

populations of women in the united states is estimated to have grown by 800 kade state prison populations of women in the united states is estimated to have grown by 834 percent since 1978 a growth rate twice as fast and 34 percent since 1978 a growth rate twice as fast as the male prison population however went to burn the amount of women in u.s. prisons to those of the male prison population however went to burn the amount of women in u.s. prisons to those abroad we see a shopping disparity for instance are currently 231000 women behind broad we see a shocking disparity for instance or currently 231000 women behind bars in the us that is 4 times as many people as were incarcerated in all of japan in 2070 according to prison policy initiative women bars in the us that is 4 times as many people as were incarcerated in all of japan in 2070 according to prison policy initiative women. have become the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated

population but despite recent interest have become the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population but despite recent interest in the alarming national trend few people know what's happening in their own states house in the alarming national trend few people know what's happening in their own states however people are starting to notice the problem even some major mainstream media publications to ever people are starting to notice the problem even some major mainstream media publications take for instance the washington post's magazine's latest issue which contains essays and for instance the washington post's magazine's latest issue which contains essays an art by formally or currently incarcerated americans in can we build a better women's formally or currently incarcerated americans in can we build a better women's prison by journalist carrie who are self serve 2 years in county in state court prison by journalist carrie who are self serve 2 years in county and state correctional facilities on drug charges is one that has raised some eyebrows

in that she states the american facilities on drug charges is one that has raised some eyebrows in that she states the american prison system was built with men in mind the uniforms are made to fit male body is about 7 prison system was built with men in mind the uniforms are made to fit male body is about 70 percent of the guards are men the rules are made to control male social structures and male violent percent of the guards are men the rules are made to control male social structures and male violence and well we know that gender divide only becomes more apparent and aggressive as level and said well we know that gender divide only becomes more apparent and aggressive as levels of income and freedom of movement reduce is the answer in building pink walls of income and freedom of movement reduce is the answer in building prisons where the razor wire of the wooden maze but the letter was. made elaine's last so live appeared already holy writ us this amazed us here to help us decide. this and that is this the more attorney is that

and are going to turn he has an eye for a black market about project there for the one black youth project. thank you thank you so much for joining us and i think johnny thank you for having me and i want to i want to start to start by asking you asking you this this when you look at when you look at the washington post piece it's gotten a lot of criticism and one of the things that kind of jumps out to me the washington post piece it's gotten a lot of criticism and one of the things that kind of jumps out to me is the writer writes about a visit to one of these prisons that's been designed for women specifically for me is the writer writes about a visit to one of these prisons that's been designed for women specifically for women in california and she states that there you see you know women are landscaping women in california and she states that there you see you know women are landscaping a paltry line walkway under the gaze of a player shirted horticulture teacher in a paltry line walkway under the gaze of a player shirted horticulture teacher to my right there dorms with

a volleyball net to my right is a right side door of his equipment with the with a volleyball net and scattered pieces of exercise equipment for the women of earn their way to move the poor i'm there my way out to buy them and ride out and sing the run of signing intimate off line same the running running it all a lime green parrot trees the powell over think the parrot a tree to sleeping to do pertain to old to do could tell old deaker is over the years 8 in the 100 men and women who live their lives there. is a brick wall the 5 year old $240000000.00 facility is a brick wall the 5 year old $240000000.00 facility is still a jail but no razor wires are in sight even theory we can build is still a jail but no razor wires are in sight even theory we can build better prisons but the question after he was should we should we be wasting the titled better prisons but the question after he was should we should we be wasting the time and bill building building better prisons when really really it's the it's the prison

systems i'm with him that's the problem. right everyone i think and i think that our way to initially approach that and say that we can't and can't think that our way to. initially approached and say that we can't can't improve prisons and if we did then we would continue to expand upon and apparently unjust prisons and if we did then we would continue to expand upon and apparently unjust system so a better prison is what is ironically a worse prison system so a better prison is what is ironically a worse prison. i think ari was obviously a little horrified reading i think i was obviously a little horrified reading the article the headline itself i think. we're going to call the headline itself i think. we're talking about a suitable prison for people or for women there is none. talking about

a suitable prison for people or for women there is none. i think that when you you listed off a lot of. wonderful i think that when you you listed off a lot of. wonderful men it is very. men it is very. good. exercise maybe counseling services that my question is why can't those exist outside of science maybe counseling services that my question is why can't those exist outside of the walls of a person. should good observation. of the walls of a person. should good observation there's just no there is that understanding that we're in this mindset that the only way just know there is that understanding that we're in this mindset that the only way to deal with anybody is prison or

to deal with anybody is prison or a fine or. all of this and that's where you end up with well if we just 9 or. all of this and that's how you end up with well if we just make it. which is strange to me. which is strange to me very very very. i think. i mean i see the logic very very. i think. i mean i see the logic in i don't but i do very in the idea of a modernized state of the art i don't but i do very in the idea of a modernized state of the art system but we do know when you look at history that we've perpetually system but we do know when you look at history that we've perpetually. sort of opted for a modernization of prisons and they quickly to tear your sort of opted for

a modernization of prisons and they quickly deteriorate because in essence they are the dehumanization of people so it's hard to create proper because in essence they are the dehumanization of people so it's hard to create proper. conditions. in a place that is supposed. conditions. in a place that is supposed to quite literally dehumanize people by taking away rights like freedom to quite literally dehumanize people by taking away rights like speech and movement. but i completely understand speech and movement. but i completely understand why this conversations bring being brought up now especially because we also see as you mentioned a boom in this conversations bring it up now especially because we also see as you mentioned a boom in women in prisons. so within the last 30 or something years and women in

prisons. so within the last 30 or something years it went from about 20000 women incarcerated to about over 200000 went from about 20000. and women incarcerated to about over 200000 or 200000 people which is. heinous so there are 200000 people right which is. heinous so then the question becomes how do we comedy this population versus what happened what's in the room the question becomes how do we commenting at this population versus what happened what's at the root of their incarceration which most women who are in prison or jail are in there are very shouldn't but most women who are in forever is in jail are in there. are survivors. both 1st and foremost they're survivors of years of sexual of sexual assault and plastic violence silence i think many of us have seen that they are

often criminals i think many of us have seen that they are often criminalized for self defense purposes or practices. there are a host of revised for self-defense purposes or practices. there are a host of reasons why most women are in prisons and it doesn't have to do with their rehabilitative needs most women are in prisons and it doesn't have to do with their rehabilitative needs in the 1st place in the 1st place right or it's right in the sense that it's in the sense that their character has to be real but they're kept every ability to be rehabilitated we really are social issues or social structures need to be completely transliterated we really are social issues or social structures need to be completely transformed we do let me ask you this because i noticed that one of the things that we saw when we looked at the number from 94 and we do we let me ask you this because i noticed that one of the things that we saw when we looked at the number from 1978 over the course of my personal like my lifetime watching this number go up 178 over the course of my personal like

my lifetime watching this number go up one of the things i noticed is that the federal prison didn't actually get much larger many did of the things i noticed is that the federal prison. didn't actually get much larger many did someone but the largest growth was in state prisons and local jails some one but the largest growth was in state prisons and local jails or county jails does that have a lot to do with cash bail and how does that system i mean is that one of our county jails does that have a lot to do with cash bail and how does that system i mean is that one of them is that a major issue especially for women i feel like as often single mother of a is that a major issue especially for women i feel like as often single mothers or being a lot of the major breadwinners shifted over 'd major lawyers or being a lot of the major breadwinners shifted over major like household person is that part of it are things like cash bail like

a household person is that part of it are things like cash bail is that this is just more policing for profit or am i being paranoid you know i don't think you're being paranoid is that this is just more policing for profit or am i being paranoid you know i don't think you're being paranoid and i think it's easy to see it that way because it seems. i think it's easy to see it that way because it seems. so practice i think i can't speak on it fully but i would say it's a horrible practice i think i can't speak on it fully but i would say that it has a lot to do with the kinds of quote unquote crimes that are being made that it has a lot to do with the kinds of quote unquote crimes that are being committed which really it is who is being targeted and how is that target changing committed which really it is who is being targeted and how is that target change when. we see that a lot of the women who are incarcerated are actually in jails and not prisons we

see that a lot of the women who are incarcerated are actually in jails and not prisons a lot of them are simply awaiting trial. or dealing with very small offenses like a lot of them are simply awaiting trial. are dealing with very small offenses like best and. first survive. first of all so they're purpose and. so they're not cases in a way he says in a. federal prison you would be sent to federal prisons or. really aggressive sentences. and for that reason i think you look at really aggressive sentences. and for that reason i think you look at the prison policy i think. study and you see that there is prison policy i think. study and you see that there is just proportionately there are more women in jails so one of the things i wonder. is that you do it just proportionately there are

more women in jails so one of the things i wonder. is that you do a lot of work do you see in terms of trying to change the code a lot of work. in terms of trying to change the incarceration system what are some of the things that are happening here on a local level and do you see that you are. like what are some of the things that are happening here on a local level and do you see that you're working on. that because that is my context very. glad you asked that because that is my context. at least in the work that i do i think d.c. is a prime example of. at least in the work that i do i think d.c. is a prime example of. just the terror that is our current incarceration system dc's incarceration rate. just the terror that is our current incarceration system d.c.'s incarceration rate surpasses the national average right behind mississippi in terms

of incarceration rate surpasses the national average right behind mississippi in terms of incarceration rates. and you've seen a lot more coverage it's very. and. you've seen a lot more coverage and conversation about the criminalization of black girls for being black girls and conversation about the criminalization of black girls for being black girls honestly a lot of black women in particular. honestly a lot of black women particularly young black girls are arrested in criminalized for skipping class black girls are arrested in criminalized for skipping class. for issues that they might have at home. if they're. for issues that they might have at home. if they're victims of sex trafficking oftentimes they are persecuted or prosecuted as victims of sex trafficking

oftentimes they are persecuted or prosecuted. as eliciting sort of prostitution so you see them as eliciting sort of prostitution so you see that we also see that uptick in that happening in d.c. so again the conversation can easily turn. up to can that happening in d.c. so again the conversation can easily turn into how do we accommodate prisons and expand upon jails and prisons for this increasing population and into how do we accommodate prisons and expand upon jails and prisons for this increasing population where the question should be why are they being incarcerated and you quickly find out where the question should be why are they being incarcerated and you quickly find out. they're rooted in stomach issues you know. they're rooted in stomach issues you know i think a lot of readers cover this war we talked about even when the show was this kind of war on the poor that were involved

a lot of others covered this war we talked about even when the show was this kind of war on the poor that were involved in if you're poor story you're you know 2nd class 3rd class 4th. if you're poor story. you know 2nd class 3rd class 4th in this country and we'd rather throw you in jail should be to different cities around the country and kind of push the positions in this country and we'd rather throw you in jail should be to different cities around the country and kind of push the problem away rather than actually trying to help people that's the reason part about it i think that's also why problem away rather than actually trying to help people that's the reason part about it i think that's also why d.c. is a great example. there is a recent move to decriminalize sex work that d.c. is a great example. there is a recent move to decriminalize sex work. right and oftentimes people in sex work are not only gender minorities trans women right and oftentimes people in sex work are not only gender minorities trans women. racial minorities black women. but

again there are. racial minorities black women. but again there for survival purposes more often than not. and they're being criminalized and they're be for survival purposes more often than not. and they're being criminalized and they're being. assaulted both in jail by police officers being. assaulted both in jail by police officers and on the streets so yes it is a war on the poor on earth and on the streets so yes it is a war on the poor on racial minority populations. also more than half of minority populations. also more than half of people in prisons have mental health conditions so there is a lot of work half of people in prisons have mental health conditions so there is a lot of work that we have to sit there and i think about that 1st part is understanding where the disparities are when it's you know that we have to sit

there and i think about that 1st part is understanding where the disparities are when it's you know especially when men women of color and and i think feminism has 0 as a road here that has to work especially when men women of color and and i think the . but as i'm has all as i wrote here it has to work to make sure it gets to working on this a lot harder for us thank you so much make sure it gets to working on this a lot harder for us thank you so much for coming on and keep up the great work over the world to bring convertibles thank you for coming on and keep up the great work over the world thank you very much to. it big things have small beginnings then there's a lot in store. if big things have small beginnings then there's a lot in store for the asteroid high shiah you see high g.i. was passed as past the 4 were for the asteroid high shiah you see high g. it was passed as past the 4 were quire months necessary to be considered a dwarf planet originally the asteroid had met the other requirements need quire

ments necessary to be considered a dwarf planet originally the asteroid had met the other requirements needed for classification a.j. appears to orbit the sun it's not a moon orbiting into it for classification edgy appears to orbit the sun it's not a moon orbiting another planet and has not cleared other objects out of its own or but now thanks to the new another planet and has not cleared other objects out of its own or but now thanks to the new high resolution imagery you're seeing here it appears that idea is spherical in shape which i resolutely imagery you're seeing here it appears that idea is spiritual in shape which checks off the final box on its way to being classified a dwarf planet this classification checks off the final box on its way to being classified a dwarf planet this classification once ratified would make the smallest work planet and our solar system once ratified would make the smallest work planet and our solar system thing small beginning that is really cool i never.

thing this small beginning that is really cool i never knew there was this this neat classification with a void trying to figure out what is a dwarf planet there was this this new classification when. like trying to figure out what is a dwarf planet and once an asteroid you know that somebody rolls right right and some asteroid you know that somebody rolls right right and now i hear the bass is trying to light change the well they're contemplating the change of like how it's like now i hear the bass is trying to light changed while they're contemplating the change of like how it's like star trek the prime directive and like when we interact with other planets like how do we interact startrek the prime directive like when we interact with other planets like how do we interact with what gravity take back and what can we expect back there actually contemplated not now but this could have been what gravity take back and what can we expect back there actually contemplated not now but this is passing the smallest dwarf planet what it's like an upgrade that this is passing the smallest dwarf planet like what it's like an

upgrade that finally. finally. it is excited and excited but a little while they've got to know we're going to have it is exciting a big site it will be a while they got out of we're going to pop over there anytime soon but no probably not you're going to make it there will be a pop over there anytime soon but no no probably not you're going to make it there before it was a woman is going to be in space mark my words before the end of it all before i thought it was a woman is going to be in space mark my words before the end of it all she's going to make she go make it i'm ok with that i'm and. she's going to make it she go make it i'm ok with m m m m a space cadet so anyone can have his card so for you to be everyone. i'm
