Why does this BBC story have an offensive language warning?

It is a story about mothers in prison. I have read it 3 times and it is possible I have missed something, but I can’t find any offensive language.

Unless the warning is because women and mother is used almost exclusively throughout?

I think possibly it's the quotation at the end about people being "treated like shit"?

Agree.

"I don't have the right educated words, but we're treated like shit, so why would you allow [her]?" she said.

That'll be it.

Interesting to see what they do in this case.

Amazing isn’t it. An article about the routine separation of newborns from their mothers, a 700% increase in the incarceration of women, and people worry about the word ‘shit’.

The article refers to the US. Why is there such an increase in incarceration? Not anything to do with having a large number of private, for profit prisons, by any chance?
