can anyone send me a reference for the percentage of prisoners which are female in the 20th century? I would prefer something for Massachusetts or Boston, but US wide or any north eastern city will do. I am finding that circa 1830-40, the prison population in Boston was 37-45% female in any given year. I believe this is much higher than in the 20th century, but need some figures and their source. Thanks. Please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] maggie coleman
