The article aims to highlight the state of invisibility and residuality of resources experienced by women’s sections in predominantly male prison institutions. Through an ethnographic study in a women’s section in Central Italy, it is possible to immerse oneself in the daily life of these places, giving voice to the incarcerated women themselves and, as stressed by the Groupe d’information sur les prisons (1971), thus transferring to them «the right to say what only they can say». The research aims to answer several questions: what does it mean to be a minority inmate in a prison? What material consequences do result from this? The reflections outlined are therefore extended from the case study to the broader phenomenon of incarceration in women’s sections, keeping re-education as the central analytical and critical concept.
Keywords: women’s prison; female’s section; conditions of imprisonment; re-education; ethnography.
