Abstract
Prison rehabilitation and its impact on different populations, such as women, is not a new concept. Yet, efforts to create healing and non-judgment spaces are continuing to grow and undergoing evaluation. One of these alternative treatments is art therapy. The present review makes use of literature to explore the connection and effective between art therapy, prison rehabilitation, and women. Using the example of how the results of art therapy in treatment spaces can differentiate according to gender, this research shows that mental health among women is more prominent in comparison to men. The results revealed that woman -in general- through different approaches, had effective results emerging from art therapy in prison rehabilitation. In addition, it in most cases, the literature revealed that during prison rehabilitation, women react better to art therapy than men. This chapter argues that the implementation of art therapy as a form of treatment during prison rehabilitation is an effective method for incarcerated women.
