This article addresses the lack of historiographical attention to female
incarceration and the absence of design in its confinement spaces, through a brief
description of the evolution of the prison system and architectural typologies in the
Western context. The objective is to show that female incarceration and the places where
it took place did not arise under these legal and typological forms, for this purpose, a
review of its appearance is made in Spain and its influence in Mexico with the
particularity of the presence of minors in these enclosures. At the end, a proposal for the
21st century is described, which invites us to rethink these places from a gender
perspective.
