Highlights
The word Jail is defined as the cells located in a city, or a town, sometimes small lock-up in police stations where people who have been arrested or charged with a crime are held until they are either released or sentenced to prison. (Ronald, 2007)
Lack of formal schooling has been another predominant issue in these fifteen cases, as most women did not even pass their secondary school examination
Most respondents agreed that after completing their punishment, they will go back home after release but they were not sure about their acceptance in society. This is a very straightforward and categorical conclusion drawn from this study that in jails the separation of parents from their children has caused many problems in their lives
Summary
The word Jail is defined as the cells located in a city, or a town, sometimes small lock-up in police stations where people who have been arrested or charged with a crime are held until they are either released or sentenced to prison. (Ronald, 2007). In most of the raped cases that have become pregnant, they end up delivering a baby while still in jail for a crime not committed. They are badly treated as having no access to pre-natal and post-natal health facilities. The women prisoners are under-nourished and overworked in jail and pregnant one gives birth to a baby in the unhygienic and poor health care facility. This results in a disproportionately high number of infant and maternal deaths in a country (Rafiq, 2004). The individuals who record a grumbling or make a legitimate move are in danger of additional retaliatory maltreatment, regardless of whether they are moved to another office (Quinn 2010)
