description The scientific paper explores women as perpetrators of criminal acts and their penal treatment, providing insights into the specifics and challenges they face during incarceration. Traditionally, prisons were primarily oriented towards men, but today there are specific prison units and facilities exclusively for female inmates. In the introduction, we address the history and development of the prison system for women, including the creation of specialized units and a gender-sensitive approach to imprisonment. The second part investigates the specifics of women’s incarceration, including healthcare needs, education, vocational training, challenges of motherhood and childcare in prison, as well as psychological aspects of women’s imprisonment. The third part examines the issues and challenges women encounter during incarceration, such as prison system overcrowding, gender discrimination, and violence against women in prison. Additionally, we explore the application of alternative punishment measures for women, including home confinement, rehabilitation and reintegration programs, and harm reduction measures for women with special needs.
