Abstract
Programs aimed at women prisoners are limited. The objective of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of a peer mediation program implemented in an Italian women’s prison. Two focus groups were conducted with seven incarcerated women who participated in the program. The four mediators who conducted the program compiled a total of 12 reflective diaries. The data were analyzed using Grounded Theory. The results highlight the effectiveness of the program, which was perceived as a tool to develop functional relationship and conflict management strategies and to promote greater self-awareness. These intervention programs are fundamental in enhancing the specific characteristics of the individual and promoting the development of skills and resources necessary for successful reintegration into society.
