female inmates
Incarcerated women collectively
Female inmates are women or girls held in a correctional facility—a jail, prison, or detention center.
The phrase appears frequently in discussions of incarceration policy, where conditions for female inmates often differ from those for men: The facility added prenatal care for female inmates.
Sometimes shortened to just inmates when context is clear.
