So there seems to be a significantly different profile in types of crimes committed, which would seem to point to the root causes being significantly different. Just listening to your testimonies, it seems that, besides the mental health or health issues, etc., the root causes are issues of desperation. I would assume that root causes would be similar when it comes to the male population in many cases, but also there would be significantly different motivators.
Is desperation the prime motivator when you get to the root cause of why women are incarcerated?
