Female crime and punishment (?)

Linucs writes "From the BBC: "As the prison population rises, more and more women are being locked up. Critics, however, believe women offenders should be treated differently from men and now the government has outlined plans to build female rehabilitation centres as an alternative to jail."

Get this one:

"For instance, they claim that half of women prisoners - far more than men - have suffered physical, sexual or mental abuse."

I guess that men who suffered physical, sexual or mental abuse as kids should just rot in jail, right?"
