Abstract

he aim here is to focus on the health of incarcerated women in France, and more specifically on the obstacles to their access to healthcare. We’ll be asking whether the fact of being a woman subject to legal proceedings and/or incarcerated constitutes a double barrier to her right of access to healthcare. In other words, isn’t the female prison experience an extension of the prison sentence? We’ll be looking at inequalities in access to social and health care spaces and resources, as well as inequalities in access to and appropriation of knowledge.
