A photo of six prison inmates seductively posing for a picture in uniform while incarcerated inside a jail has gone viral.
It is unclear which jail the women are being held in or when the picture was taken, but one thing we know for sure is that they have the internet talking about how great they look.
The photo first appeared on Hip Hop Vibe.
The women appear to be happy and in good shape in the photo, but the reality is, women in prison suffer a great deal. According to Women Alliance, an organization serving as a catalyst to advance the personal and professional development of women, “incarceration represents a danger to health: the health status of prisoners is generally well below than that of the rest of the population,” adding that “women in penal institutions are mostly single, poor, minority mothers” and “two-thirds of female inmates in federal penitentiaries are mothers and almost three-quarters of these mothers are single mothers. Once incarcerated, only 20% of them can rely on family members to care for children while they are away, while more than 80% of incarcerated fathers can entrust their children to a spouse or a relative.”
But this does not appear to be the case in the photo, although looks can be deceiving. And according to some Twitter users, they would love to meet the women. Check out some of the uproarious responses to the photo below.
