Abstract:

Overcrowding is when the number of people in a space exceeds its specified capacity. This phenomenon often occurs in prisons and has been recognized as a significant contributor to psychological problems, especially stress among prisoners. This study addresses this gap by narrowing our focus to female prisoners, who exhibit greater physical and psychological vulnerabilities than male prisoners. This study investigates the relationship between overcrowding and stress levels in prisoners. This study used a correlational design with a sample of 82 female prisoners selected using a simple random s

Abstract:

Although scholars have shown continuing interest in studying prisoner behavior, relatively few studies focus on Chinese female prisoners’ behavior in the prisoner–guard relationship. In this study, 65 semi-structured interviews were conducted with both female prisoners and guards to document Chinese culture’s influence on female prisoners’ behavior. According to the findings, female prisoners mainly choose to maintain good guanxi (interpersonal relationships) with guards, in order to pragmatically maximize the benefits of these relationships. In addition to this, based on personalism and pragm

Abstract:

Female prisoners are special communities that are vulnerable to a decline in self-esteem. The purpose of this study is to describe the self-esteem of female prisoners in Semarang female prisons. Researchers used descriptive designs in this study. The results showed that the most women prisoners' self-esteem were moderate self-esteem (81.0%), high self-esteem (16.5%), and low self-esteem (2.5%). Most female prisoners experience a decrease in self-esteem, so that various efforts are needed to improve the self-esteem of female prisoners, especially community-based nursing interventions.

The fieldwork was carried out in three women's prisons in England and involved interviews with 200 prisoners, both pre- and postrelease.

The issue of possible provision of prisoners’ conjugal rights in jurisdictions not yet allowing them, such as Malawi, is still an intricate debate amongst the stakeholders.

Anxiety is stated as pathological if the condition stays long-term and causes physical disabilities and distress that causes difficulties in daily life activities such as working or socializing.

Abstract:

Addressing a significant gap in the knowledge of female Muslim prisoners’ religiosity, this paper describes and explains the gendered impact of incarceration on the religiosity of Muslim female and male offenders. Based on quantitative and qualitative data collected in ten prisons, including a male and female prison in England and a male and female prison in Switzerland, the authors show that prison tends to intensify the religiosity of Muslim men and reduce the religiosity of Muslim women. In explanation of this, the authors argue that, at the individual level, the feelings of guilt at the ab
