  • Survey data associated with: The Invisible Women: The Costs of Prison and the Indirect Effects on Women
    Dataset

    By Innovation in Citizen Services Division (VPS/IFD/ICS)

The second part provides quantitative information on the economic, social and health costs that are imposed by a criminal model that fails to recognize its existence, and by a prison system that frequently fails to comply with the obligation to pay the expenses of those that have been put in seclusion.
