The opioid crisis is putting more women behind bars across the U.S. _ tearing apart families and squeezing communities that lack treatment programs and permanent solutions. In one county jail in Tennessee, most of the female inmates have addiction problems that have led to numerous jail stays for crimes like robbery or shoplifting. The women say being locked up does little to prepare them for life on the outside, where friends _ and in some cases, family _ might lure them back into drugs again.
