"Orange Is the New Black" author pleas for special considerations for female inmates

Article here. Even when women do get sent to prison, the call rises for "special considerations". Has the thought even occurred to her that the thing she's complaining about affects male prisoners routinely and meh, no one seems to care much? My guess is no. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Excerpt:

'Because I know the prison so well, I was disturbed to learn that it was quietly planning to relocate most of its inmates.

Starting this month, the federal Bureau of Prisons will transfer the more than 1,000 women incarcerated in the main facility at Danbury to other prisons across the country to convert it to a men’s prison (the small satellite camp immediately adjacent, where I served my time, will still incarcerate approximately 210 women). The bureau says the plan will ease overcrowding in its men’s prisons.

This added geographic separation may as well be a second sentence for these women, who already have to make it through prison with limited visits from family, and for their children, who still need and want their moms. A mother’s incarceration has a devastating effect on her family, and experts say that maintaining contact with a parent in prison is critical to a child’s well-being. One in 28 children has a parent in prison today, and Danbury houses the mothers of at least 700 children.

This past spring, an ambitious new program, JusticeHome, was started by the Women’s Prison Association in New York City, on whose board I serve. It aims to do the opposite of what the bureau plans: It will allow some women who plead guilty to felonies to remain in their homes with their children. ...'
