Abstract

RAMBAL SIMANCA, Martha; MADARIAGA OROZCO, Camilo  and  IBANEZ NAVARRO, Luz Miriam. A study on coping strategies and the subjective, psychological and social well-being of female inmates in a women's detention facility at the Colombian Caribbean area (2012). Rev. Crim. [online]. 2014, vol.56, n.3, pp.45-57. ISSN 1794-3108.

The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the coping strategies and the subjective, psychological and social well-being of female inmates kept at a women's detention facility during year 2012 at the Caribbean area in Colombia. The sample being stipulated for this studio consisted of a total of 26 inmates in this internment center. For the outcome measurement, use was made of the adaptation into Spanish made by Blanco & Diaz (2005) of Diener's Subjective Well-being scale, Ryff's Psychological Well-being scale, Keyes' Social Well-being scale, and Londoño et al.'s (2006) Individual Coping scale. The results showed that the use of some coping strategies by the inmates relates to both psychological and social well-being. Nevertheless, this association was not found with well-being of the subjective type.

Keywords : Female criminality; women s prison; types of prison facilities; imprisonment; social well-being.
