The idea of prison is simple. Someone does something society defines as wrong, they're placed in a building where they're kept with others who have done something similarly wrong as a way to punish them for being bad. Life in prison isn't the same as it is outside- for obvious reasons, right? Prisoners have broken the law, they shouldn't be afforded the same rights as those who haven't. But at what point does this treatment go too far? At what point is the punishment doing more harm than it should? At what point is the system failing to do what is intended to do? Today on A System Build Around Men, we'll be looking at the unjust conditions of incarcerated women, particularly healthcare. We'll be taking a broad look at the mental, reproductive, and menstrual health of female offenders, as well as briefly examining the portrayal of female incarceration in the media.
