Abstract

Based upon results of research authors determine the state of rehabilitation programs, work and educational opportunities for female prisoners in the prison system of Bosnia and Herzegovina that is almost invariably designed for the majority male prison population. Furthermore, authors provide recommendations of measures aimed at correcting the identified deficiencies.
