Abstract
Migration is a global phenomenon that impacts penitentiary centers like CERESOFE in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. This essay examines the ethical, legal, and social implications of female migration; at this center, 35% of the 156 incarcerated women are migrants. Migration theories help understand their motives. However, precarious detention conditions, lack of access to services, and language barriers negatively affect the physical and mental health of these women, posing challenges that require a critical evaluation to ensure a fair and equitable response.
