Locking Up Women

Holloway was once the most feared women’s prison in Britain, where a hard-line regime kept women, from con artists to drug pushers and murderers, locked up for 23 hours out of the day. Now it’s gone so soft, say some officers, that the inmates want to stay and the officers to leave. This program looks at the philosophy of the changes and at the daily routine at this female-dominated enclave; discusses the new breed of female criminal and the increase of violence in women; and examines some of the psychological underpinnings of female criminality. (48 minutes)
