The MIP research set out to analyse in six European countries the processes that characterise women prisoners’ life after release and to assess in-prison and post-prison integration measures as well as the impact of prison life on women’s life after release. Even though among the six jurisdictions - Spain, Germany, England and Wales and Wales Italy, France and Hungary – there are considerable differences in the legislation, the criminal justice system, prison regulations and certainly women’s prisons as well – the comparative part of the research aimed to identify key issues across countries in addition to the analysis completed at the national level. This report provides a summary and a comparative analysis of crosscutting issues based on the research findings produced by the national research teams in the form of National Reports.
