Women in prisons/jail?

I've never been to prison myself, but from what I get from it, the inmates aren't segregated, they may form their own cliques in prison, but that's self-segregation. They would have the same routines as the males, up at a certain time, meal time, work and chores, time out in the yard, some inmates are offered the chance to take cles and earn their GEDs if they didn't complete high school, or even earn college degrees. Some are "lifers" and others may be rehabilitated for return to civilian life.
