I’ve known women over the years crimes are usually related to taking the rap for their kids/boyfriends/partners or sheer desperation shop lift for instance to feed their kids. It’s a Rat Race for so many society fails however most definitely some without question do deserve bars

This woman took away men's right to access evidence in rape trials, after a young man's life was nearly destroyed by a false accusation. Our institutions have become feminised and the women in charge are pushing misandrist policies that harm men. Get these woke women OUT!!

...so just let people (or only women?) steal, shoplift, commit fraud, steal vehicles, and sell drugs with no consequence? "Claiming" they've suffered from domestic abuse is not the same as actually suffering from domestic abuse. How many male criminals claim they suffered childhood abuse? Should they all be let go too? And having experienced domestic abuse doesn't inherently make you a blameless victim. Half of all domestic abuse is bidirectional, and women are more often than not the initiators of abuse, though men tend to be stronger.

This is just embarrassing. 40% of men in UK prisons are there for non-violent crimes too, and the male prison population is 24x larger than womens', yet you say nothing about them. What kind of journalism even is this?

She's. Misandrist who considers women who murder to the be the actual victims. Most women in prison are not there for minor offences. That's men. Women are there for serious crimes, when they are actually sent to prison. Even murder they walk free often.

“They do small offences again and again”…..so they deserve to go to prison then!?…..the world has gone mad!

It's an outrage that there are any Women in prison at all. Close all Women's prisons, or better yet convert them into men's prisons.

@tomswarbrick you are a fucking embarrassment. Try, just for a minute, to challenge the dirge you’re being fed. @VeraBaird you are a cancer on society

Notice how @VeraBaird focuses only on the release of non-violent women, not non-violent men? Funny how this sexist misandrist gets invited repeatedly by woke media.

And non-violent men? Or are we just going to continue ignoring that in favour of demonising men & maintaining the gaping disparity between how we treat male offenders & female offenders

Women are disproportionately underrepresented in prisons and this would make this even more unequal. We must release non-violent men and imprison more women.

Yes release non violent women. Then release the political prisoners in jail for trying to stop the invasion of our country. How is it a crime to pop a people traffickers migrants dinghy? I thought we were paying £1 billion to France to slash them?

Why is UK freeing up violent criminals and Paedophiles to make prison room for - locking up peaceful Anti #Genocide protesters⁉️

@TomSwarbrick1 how can you not point out the clear sexism in her ststement and the violation of the basic principle of treating people equaliy no matter their gender by the state and law? How can you even discuss this without criticism??

Wtf? So suddently violence is not a crime when it comes to female aggressors? @VeraBaird Do you even listen to yourself? You want to open a two-class-system of crimes? Crimes of women are privileged and no longer a problem of society? Pure sexism and insane.
