women's prisons
Incarceration for females
Women's prisons are correctional facilities housing female inmates.
They differ from men's prisons in scale, security levels, and programming—often addressing pregnancy, childcare, and histories of abuse.
The phrase sometimes appears in discussions of gender-specific incarceration issues: Women's prisons have different health care needs than men's facilities.
