Women behind bars
- Date
1959
- Summary
-
In this program, criminologist Joseph D. Lohman points out that women prisoners do not present the same problems as men do. However, the situation is serious and approximately 10,000 women are in prison today. Lohman describes the problems which arise when these women are removed from a conventional social life. Filmed scenes illustrate the activities of women in prison and a female inmate is interviewed. Miss Kinsella and Lohman discuss her experiences in working with imprisoned women and their parallels with the male offender problem.
