Why data is important...

Every year Wisconsin, other states and national research organizations provide data and analysis on the status of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women. These reports reflect the need for immediate changes in the women's prison and jail systems on a local, state and national level. Education is the key to changing the criminal justice system.
