Women Demand Equal Jail Time
Following on from France's legislating that females must comprise 40% of the boards of public companies, women's groups are demanding women must also make up at least 40% of the prison population.
Like the boardrooms of France's public companies, prison's only have 10% female representation, and women's groups are demanding gender equity is prison.
"Women will only be equal once this terrible inequity is resolved." one spokeswoman commented.
