BEHIND BARS: The Increased Incarceration of Women and Girls of Color

The Symposium will detail the unequal toll that mass incarceration has taken on women and girls of color in Washington State. Original research into racial inequality in WA jails and prisons will be presented alongside scholarship and testimony from impacted communities to provide a glimpse into the harmful consequences of imprisonment for women and
gender nonconforming persons. How did we get here, and how can we possibly achieve racial justice in our current system?
