Abstract
The study analyzes the demographic, crime and victimization profile in a sample of 21 women imprisoned in Murcia II, and compares the influx of violent behaviors among men and women to determine which group is most vulnerable while in prison. A survey was used to compile data and then a cross-sectional study with a confidence of 95% was carried out. Survey respondents represent 2.1% of this prison population, have a young profile, have a couple and come from disadvantaged social classes. 65.1% of women use drugs while in prison and more than a half had been imprisoned before. Regarding victimization due to gender, women are more vulnerable to violent behavior than men.
