"The horrors experienced by many young inmates, particularly those who are convicted of nonviolent offenses, border on the unimaginable. Prison rape not only threatens the lives of those who fall prey to their aggressors, but it is potentially devastating to the human spirit. Shame, depression, and a shattering loss of self-esteem accompany the perpetual terror the victim thereafter must endure"
-- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Farmer v. Brennan
"Most of us continue to believe that those who show utter contempt for human life by committing remorseless, premeditated murder justly forfeit the right to their own life."
-- Alex Kozinski, U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
" Bureau of Justice Statistics data show that females increasingly are committing violent crimes. In 1998, 14 percent of violent crime victims indicated that a woman committed the crime (Women Offenders, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1999). During 2001, there were 24,400 female prisoners who were incarcerated for a violent offense. Additionally, violent offenders accounted for 49 percent of the increase in the female prison population from 1995 to 2001 (Prisoners in 2002, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2003). As a result, the growth in the female offender population can be seen in each component of corrections. The number of women per capita involved in corrections overall has grown 48 percent since 1990, compared to a 27 percent increase in the number of men per capita. Between 1990 and 1998, the per capita number of women under probation supervision climbed 40 percent; the jail rate grew 60 percent; the imprisonment rate increased 88 percent; and the per capita number of offenders under parole supervision was up 80 percent"
-- Women Offenders, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1999.
