The research is based on a qualitative methodology, of an evaluative type, which consisted of the collection and analysis of programs provided by penitentiary and post-prison institutions for women in Ibero-America, with emphasis on Colombia. Inclusion criteria were used for this purpose, such as: that the programs should focus on the female population and that they should be offered in Ibero-America. It became evident that the programs found in Ibero-America represent a deficient treatment for women, that they mainly offer programs that reproduce gender stereotypes, that their particular population needs are unknown and that the creation of post-custodial programs is linked to the gaps in the penitentiary systems. Therefore, the following criteria were determined: take into account the Bangkok and Mandela rules; build socio-labor insertion programs that are not gender biased; include the psychosocial component in the post-custodial treatment; educate in moral and social values; and provide adequate follow-up for post-custodial women.
