Women in solitary confinement
[edit]Hi, Sweet-cynicalstrain. I've taken a look at your draft and I think it is a solid outing! The one thing the article needs before I'd say it can be moved to Solitary confinement of women is a "lead" section. That's not a traditional introduction but an executive summary of the article's contents. It is placed at the top of the article (not under a section heading) like here. Good job on the article so far--rare that I see a topic like this which just isn't covered in existing articles but neither our article on incarceration of women or solitary confinement has much if anything to say about the gender differences w/r/t solitary.
