title: [Woman and mother in prison, a difficult reality].
abstract: Prison is a difficult and violent environment. Women prisoners are often in situations of frailty, social and emotional misery. Mothers who have a child under the age of 18 months are able to live with them in dedicated wings. However, although prison conditions have improved with time, discussion is needed around the development of alternatives to incarceration, such as electronic tagging.
