Peculiarities of imprisonment execution for women.

Women who have committed crimes have often experienced some form of discrimination, deprivation, exploitation, strong sacrifices for family welfare, often without access to education or integration into the labour market. It should be noted that the imposition of a custodial sentence on women often makes penal systems unable to meet the needs of women's social integration, does not provide adequate conditions to foster family relationships, learn, obtain education, develop lost self-confidence, even more so, and does not provide women with health care ensuring their needs, and requires psychological therapy. Women are often pushed into the stage of criminal activity by low levels of education, lack of financial resources, rare solidity, violence, humiliation, discrimination, violence and persistent feelings of inferiority and mistrust. However, despite the extremely high quality of international health standards, in practice, including Lithuania, women's specific needs have not yet been met. It is important to note that the system of punishment for women convicted makes it possible to see the members of their families in an episodical fashion. Prison facilities do not always guarantee women's sexual health, and moreover one of their individual rights is the realisation of reproductive rights. It should be noted that the provisions on the enforcement of sentences are only favourable to some of the convicted persons and their children, since children over three years of age are often separated from parent prisoners, women are given the opportunity to be close to their children, but older children are left to the relatives or the State. In the course of sentencing women, their needs are often underestimated, there is a huge risk to the quality of their social integration, and moreover, without meeting the specific needs of women in prison, often the time spent in prison is pointless because women are forced to return to their old life after being released. It is also worrying that the risk methodologies for repeated criminal behaviour applied in Lithuania are applied jointly to both men and women and therefore cannot be accurate in their sample
