As of January 1, 2019, women represented 3.6% of the French prison population. Only two prisons are entirely reserved for them: the prison center of Rennes and the prison of Versailles.
The majority of women are therefore incarcerated in "women's quarters" of men's prisons.
 
With 2,548 operational places for 2,534 detainees, they seem less exposed to the consequences of overcrowding. However, these figures mask important disparities and overcrowding is problematic in the women's quarters of many prisons: in Nîmes (50 inmates for 24 places, occupancy rate: 208%), Faa'a Nuutania (25 held for 14 places: 179%), Strasbourg (33 held for 33 places: 174%), Bordeaux (173%), Limoges (164%), Fresnes (163%), Saintes (160%), etc.

Article D.357 of the Code of Criminal Procedure states : "Cleanliness is required of all prisoners. The facilities and the adequate time are granted to them to carry out daily their care of cleanliness. A toiletry kit including personal hygiene products is provided to all incoming from the state of freedom. Renewal is provided for prisoners whose resources are insufficient".

The recent observations of the French section
of the International Prison Observatory
are unequivocal on the subject

Although their provision is required by law, these "hygiene kits" are little or not renewed. Their lack plunges women prisoners, especially the most precarious ones, into a situation of distress both from the point of view of their bodily and gynecological hygiene and from the point of view of their dignity, their self-esteem and their health.
The alternative methods they use make them prone to a multitude of gynecological infections.

They lost this right by becoming the victims of a management
penitentiary based on an economic logic to the prejudice of the litigants.

Organizational modalities

A precise analysis of the needs of each intervention establishment is carried out in advance by the managers of the association, in collaboration with the managers of the establishments, in order to act in the most effective way possible on the living conditions women and best meet their needs.

The methods of action of the association are specific to each establishment : they can, at choice, be provided with products or choose to receive the volunteers so that they carry out the distribution themselves.

Each establishment benefits from a complete information on the functioning, the organization and the evolution of the association and its missions.
