Abstract
En los últimos años la literatura ha indicado que las mujeres reclusas extranjeras presentan una serie de características que difieren de las encontradas en el resto de la población penitenciaria femenina. En este artículo se analiza su perfil socioeducativo, atendiendo a diversos factores relacionados con sus carreras delictivas. Se ha llevado a cabo una investigación de carácter descriptivo no experimental, en la que participaron 159 mujeres extranjeras internas en 6 centros penitenciarios españoles. Los principales resultados ponen de manifiesto que esta población comete mayoritariamente delitos contra la salud pública, está condenada a más de 6 años de prisión, apenas presenta toxicomanías y que sus trayectorias laborales están marcadas por una gran precariedad. Se concluye con la necesidad de revisar la respuesta penal, dada su excesiva gravedad para el tráfico de drogas, y de reflexionar sobre las motivaciones económicas que normalmente se encuentran detrás de sus delitos
In recent years, the literature has indicated that foreign incarcerated women share a number of characteristics that differ from those found in the rest of the female prison population. This article analyses their socio-educational profile, considering diverse factors related to their criminal careers. For this purpose, a descriptive non-experimental research was carried out, in which 159 foreign female prisoners from 6 Spanish penitentiary centres participated. The main results show that this population mostly commits crimes against public health, is sentenced to more than 6 years of prison, hardly presents drug addictions, and that their labour trajectories are marked by a great precariousness. We conclude with the need to review the penal response, given its excessive severity for drug trafficking, and to reflect on the economic motivations that normally lie behind their offences
