The National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls (The National Council) is committed to abolishing incarceration for women and girls. We believe a prison will never be the place for a woman or girl to heal and advance her life; that prison most often causes further social and economic harm and does not result in an increase in public safety; that the prison experience increases trauma in women and, if they are mothers, to the children they are separated from; that the prison system deepens poverty in the individual lives of incarcerated people and the overall economic stability of their communities; and that the current criminal legal system has failed and needs to be dismantled.
