| Abstract | Over the past decade, with the influence of the women's movement, the understanding of women's lives has increased dramatically. However, knowledge of women in the field of criminal justice, is still limited. The purpose of this study is to investigate the problems experienced by women inmates related to their life in prison, as well as the relationship between factors such as age, imprisonment length, types of prisons, types of prisoners, and safety-related problems in prison. The study is a quantitative study where data was collected from women imprisoned in 20central prisons and women's correctional institutions across Thailand. There were 2,499 samples. The findings reveal that the most common problems experienced by women prisoners are anxiety and the need for companionship, followed by health problems, concerns regarding family and maintaining contact with family, respectively. The findings from this research can be further applied to improve the management of women prisoners in order to reduce the problems they experience, as well as to enhance safety and mitigate violence in prison. |
