I read briefly the holloway womens prision closure thread, I may be repeating so apologies if so but for the exact same offence women's sentences are on average one third of those given to men. Women are also more likely to leave prison early.

Yes, many female criminals escape proper justice or get a (very) soft penalty compared to what men would receive. Also known as the "Pussy Pass".

There's no "equality" when certain people (women) receive much softer punishments (or nothing) due to their gender.
