An opinion piece with the primary message that females make up a growing percentage of criminal offenders and that additional facilities are needed to "steer young offenders [presumably the females] away from the negative side."  Well, in order to evaluate an opinion some tiny minimum of information is required.  What was the historic percentage of females?  What is the percentage now?  No information leads me to guess the percentage is small.  Three times more likely to have committed suicide?  What's the actual percentage, 0.5% ?  I wonder if the real purpose of the opinion piece was just to push for additional funding for incarceration related matters.
