Mixed Prisons in Spain

Synopsis

Spain's mixed-gender prisons represent a distinctive approach to incarceration, with approximately six percent of inmates in European Union prisons being women. This system integrates male and female prisoners within the same facilities, prompting discussions on rehabilitation, safety, and gender dynamics. As countries across Europe consider similar models, the implications of Spain's policies challenge traditional views on prison environments. The documentary examines how this progressive framework influences the future of incarceration and the treatment of inmates in Spain and beyond. Available until 16/12/2026 on ARTE.tv.
