The authors come to the general conclusion that the age of these women is from 26 to 40 years, and also from 21 to 25 years; they are sentenced to imprisonment for committing crimes against life and health, property, as well as public health and public morals; condemned to isolation from society for the first time; predisposed for various reasons not to participate in the social life of the correctional colony; disciplinary practice in their relation has a “punitive” bias; among such women there are no persons propagating customs and traditions of criminal subculture, as well as persons with low social status.
