KBCS begins a new weekly series on Incarcerated Women.

The United States incarcerates more of its citizens than any other country in the world. Of the over 740,000 people incarcerated in the United States, well over 200,000  are women.  The effects on families, communities and taxpayers is pronounced. Over the next months KBCS takes a look at the impacts of locking up the women on our community.
