MARTINEZ MARTINEZ,, Lorena; CANTERO RAMIREZ, Margarita  and  GUZMAN DIAZ, José Cruz. Right to motherhood of women deprived of liberty in Mexico. Biolex [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.23, pp.1-23.  Epub Apr 21, 2021. ISSN 2007-5545.  https://doi.org/10.36796/biolex.v0i23.186.

The daily life of women deprived of liberty in prisons in Mexico has little addressed the conditions of goods and services available to them during the time that they serve their sentences. Also, there is a lack of adequacy of these centers to attend to the specific needs of the female sex and guarantee their human rights. In this sense, was analyzed the right to motherhood of women deprived of liberty from direct experiences of the same women recovered from a review of literature, analysis of legal instruments and statistical data from the National Survey of Population Deprived of Liberty and the National Census of Government, Public Security, and State Penitentiary Systems. We found this right is recognized in the National Criminal Execution Law but is violated in the prison system by not fully covering the particular needs so it's necessary to strengthen public policies on the subject.

Keywords : Prison system; rigth to motherhood; women deprived of liberty.
