The problem of female criminality has become a serious concern for the modern society. No doubt male criminality is more as compared to female criminality but female criminality is on rise. Imprisonment is one of the methods used to handle the convicts in such a way to protect and prevent them to commit further crimes for a specific period of time and also to prevent others from committing crime on them. The concept of punishing the criminals by imprisonment has recently been changed to treatment and rehabilitation with a view to modifying the criminal tendencies among them.
