We have had a couple of mothers lately who have wondered what it is like in a women's prison. These are usually mothers who are new to the prison system and they are worried about their daughters.
Often people get the wrong idea about prison from watching TV or prison movies.
I described the best I could that prison is not like it is portrayed on television---with all the violence---- and that much of the time it is boring.
Here is a good article with some interesting facts about women's prisons.

She has learned how to make makeup through strange ways, like using M & M's, and has learned who her friends are and aren't.
In her case, her family/ husband and kids have pretty much abandoned her. But she has taken classes and therapy on how to cope with what happened to get her there, and how to get out and live on her own for the first time in years.
She says it has made her stronger.
She went in, in a wheelchair. Had been in a horrific accident, that landed her there. Killed THREE people in their yard, because she was drunk. Now she counsels others about drinking and driving.
She has learned to deal with what she did, and helps others, which makes her time go faster.
She wrote in the beginning about the way things work in that prison. How the woman act, etc. None of it was violent though. Just people trying to run things a bit, but it isn't as crazy as you see on tv.
The government is really messing up our country incarcerating so many low level offenders, male and female. It is not helpful to anyone, not our country, not our society. It is only making more of a mess in so many different areas.
