Abstract
In this presentation, I will discuss the establishment of a women’s prison in Denmark. Until recently, women have served in men’s prisons and sometimes in men’s wings. Due to questions of safety during imprisonment and due to ambitions of improving rehabilitative means for women the political decision makers in 2018 decided to establish a women only facility. Among other things this pieces problematizes both women’s rights and the stereotyped versions of gender existing in actual prison practices.
