Order Description
Women’s imprisonment is closely related to poverty, both because offences often relate to supporting their family and escaping poverty and because they lack access to financial resources in order to prevent detention.
The majority of offending and imprisoned women come from socially disadvantaged communities and groups. In many countries typical female offenders will be young, unemployed, have low levels of education and have dependent children. Typically, they lack information on their rights.
Discrimination against women in society results in unequal power relations and access to economic resources. As a result, women in conflict with the law depend on the willingness of male family members to spend resources on due process of law for them. This is reflected in particular vulnerability to being deprived of their liberty, for reasons including an inability to pay for legal representation, fines for petty offenses or to meet financial and other bail or sentencing obligations.
review two countries, which will include the United States to conduct an in-depth analysis of the disadvantages of women during the penal stages/procedures from each country.
Use one or more of the amendments (4th,5th,6th,8th, and 14th) to support your paper.
