One of the main tasks of a prison is to prepare inmates for successful reintegration into society after serving their sentence. Prisons offer various programmes to support inmates, but these are generally designed according to the model of male prisoners. In the case of women, it is essential to take into account their gender-specific needs and circumstances in order to ensure their successful reintegration into society. Serving a prison sentence is already a different experience for women than it is for men, as are the circumstances that led them to prison, and this must not be overlooked or neglected. During the transition from prison and reintegration into society, female inmates need support in overcoming their obstacles, and their already difficult path should not be made even harder.
