Abstract
This article explores the changing profile of female prisoners in Ireland from 1922 to the present and places the imprisonment of women in Ireland in an historical context, attempting to understand the declining rate of imprisonment for women for most of the 20th century in order to contextualize recent increases in the female prison population.
