Answer to Question 1

The separation of women prisoners from their children can be very traumatic. Many women's prisons are located in rural areas away from their families, so they often lose contact with their children. Mothers can feel depressed and guilty for breaking up the family. Some prisons have allowed infants to live in prisons with their mothers up to 18 months in order to keep a bond. One prison allows babies 6 months and younger to live with their mothers in prison while their mother participates in parenting classes.

Answer to Question 2

Barbara Owen studied women in the world's largest female correctional facility. She found many differences between females and males in prison. She found that male prisons were more degrading and violent than female prisons. She also found that the phase of a woman's criminal record and the number of previous prison terms contribute to the prison experience. The female prisoners agreed that males show more solidarity than women. Owen also found that race is not as critical to the prison culture for women as for men. There were no formal gangs in the female prisons.
