	Description:		More and more Australian women are being locked up for even the most minor offences, often before they have gone to trial, and if you're a woman of colour or other minority, your chances of ending up behind bars are even higher. The Quicky speaks to two experts to find out why past trauma, abuse and violence are strong indicators that a woman may find herself on the wrong side of the law, and why we should invest in helping vulnerable individuals rather than focusing on punishment.
