\"\"As of January 17, 2017, over 1,385 inmates had received clemency or been pardoned; only around 90 of those people are women, as far as Amy Povah, founder and president of the CAN-DO Foundation, can tell. CAN-DO\u2014Clemency for All Non-Violent Drug Offenders\u2014began in 2000 after Povah was released from prison after being granted clemency under President Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

As of January 17, 2017, over 1,385 inmates had received clemency or been pardoned; only around 90 of those people are women.<\/p>\n

And while that number is similar to the ratio of men who are incarcerated to women that are incarcerated, advocates say that\u2019s not a good enough argument for not releasing more women. \u201cWhile women may make up 6.7% of the prison population, when you look at drug offenses, which is what Obama\u2019s clemency program is supposed to address, it gets more complicated than that,\u201d says Povah. The majority of women are arrested for drug or property offenses. Over the last 30 years, the women\u2019s federal prison population increased 800%, while the men\u2019s increased 419%. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at women going into prison two to one with regard to the ratio,\u201d explains Povah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
