What will be an ideal response?
Varies, but the most prominent include the physical and mental health costs. Women and men's health generally deteriorates while incarcerated. Also, the separation of a mother from her children could have drastic effects on both the mother and child. Since incarcerated women are more likely than incarcerated men to be the sole provider for children, their absence can lead to a generational cycle of poverty and crime. The effects of this cycle can often spread throughout entire communities.
