Life in a prison for a woman is not just about spending time there, trying to engage oneself in useful work that will ‘feminise’ her. While delving into the lives lived behind closed walls and barbed wire fences, in this chapter, I tried to examine whether these women docilely accepted the traditional feminine identities imposed on them? Or can they, even if on the rarest of rare occasions, reject them? Is femininity a source of oppression, or can it also enable resistance? Are the women able to transform or challenge power relations from their ‘embodied’ positions, as feminist theorists suggest? I found the rarest of rare instances of ‘agency’ and ‘subversion’ among the inmates. This chapter also discusses the daily routines of the prisoners, the hierarchies that are formed in prisons, etc. An important hierarchy in prison is that between Indian and Bangladeshi prisoners, with the former occupying the superior positions, regardless of the nature of the offence committed by them. However, both Bangladeshi as well as Indian prisoners lead very miserable lives. There is a lot of despair and helplessness in these inmates and their family members. Even more deplorable is the dismal and pathetic network of corruption and lawlessness in our criminal justice system that is exploited by people at all levels, whether political representatives or common people. This chapter also describes their time in prison, the activities they do in prison and the illnesses they have. There are women whose illnesses are ignored, not diagnosed properly, not taken care of and medicines not given properly.
