RIVERTON â Compared with 14 years ago, a lot more women are in prison.
Thatâs the case in the Wyoming Department of Corrections, which saw a roughly 36% hike in female incarcerations in the past decade and a half. Statistics show itâs also the trend nationwide.
âNationally, female crime incarceration has grown faster than any population,â said WDOC Director Daniel Shannon in a recent interview with The Riverton Ranger. âItâs about 8% per year.â
In Wyoming, that number has grown about 3% from year to year, with a total of a 35.6% gain from 2006 to 2020. The growth is disproportionate to the menâs plight: During that span, the state prison population for men dropped overall, from 507 to 431, with a spike of 572 in 2013.
