The female prisoner, envisioned with wrinkles and rotting teeth, as a cigarette falls out of her mouth.  This drawing represents society’s skewed assumptions about incarcerated individuals. These individuals are denied their fundamental right to feminine hygiene products: Tampons and pads, rare, expensive, and impossible to find, are like diamonds in prison. Society equates the arrest of a woman with her losing all aspects of her previous femininity. “Refeminization” has been recognized as a program for female imprisonment for centuries. Within the United States prison system, female prisoners do tasks that have always been considered women’s work, such as cooking, laundry, and sewing. Rather than pouring attention into recreating women, we should focus on ensuring access to reproductive products. The idea of "Refeminization" in the prison system reflects deep-rooted misogyny, reinforcing the belief that a woman's worth is tied to her adherence to societal norms of beauty and behavior, which can be incredibly harmful, especially in an environment as dehumanizing as prison. Society often overlooks the humanity and dignity of incarcerated women. The assumption that a woman loses her femininity upon being imprisoned is unfair. Instead of focusing on efforts to "refeminize" women behind bars, efforts should be directed at providing them with the same access to basic health care and hygiene products that any person would be entitled to outside of prison. These needs are a fundamental part of respecting their humanity, regardless of their gender, and have nothing to do with adhering to an archaic, gendered ideal of femininity.
