Abstract
Abstract Incarceration of females is rising at a significant rate, thus it is important to provide an accurate overview of how women live and work in prison systems. Historically, quality‐of‐life experiences of incarcerated females are often far worse than popular culture leads us to believe. Further, it impacts the lives of female offenders differently than it does those of male offenders. In the 1800s prisons were places of punishment where females convicted of crimes and violations of other moral standards were isolated from society. It was also during this period that prison officials implemented strategies to re‐socialize confined females prior to their release into society. Thus, the incarceration of females has a long history characterized by both punishment and treatment.
