The State with the Highest Rate of Female Imprisonment is Idaho

Idaho Women for Education, 501c3, is a new nonprofit that wishes to make a difference for women and girls who have historically experienced impossible challenges in the transition from incarceration.

The rate at which women are incarcerated varies greatly from state to state. At the national level, including both state and federal imprisonment, 47 out of every 100,000 women were in prison in 2021.

We are raising funds to create a new program in Idaho, patterned after a successful implementation in Missouri called Aspire MO.
