Humanity has been concerned with punishing
lawbreakers for a very long time. The personality of the
convicted person changes significantly while they are
imprisoned and cut off from society. As a result, the
personal values of women come to dominate their lives,
giving them a seemingly non-social existence, while
values that reflect their social nature become less
important. Serving a sentence results in permanent
losses for women, their families, communities, and
society at large. Every woman possesses the capacity to
become a mother both as a biological and social being
and as an individual. Using Sierra Leone as an example,
a sociological study found that in 2023, 10% of charges
made by the police were for fraudulent conversation.
Most women are deprived of their basic rights whilst
incarcerated and others experienced abuse from fellow
prisoners.
