EspañolCALIFORNIA INSTITUTION FOR WOMEN
The 'California Institution for Women' (CIW) is a female-only state prison in California, USA. Located near the city of Corona in Riverside County, CIW was designed to hold 1,026 prisoners and as of 2003 housed 1,589.
Until 1987, CIW was California's only prison for female felons. It was originally called "Frontera," a feminine derivative of the word frontier - a new beginning. The campus-like design was in keeping with the 1950's progressive notion of rehabilitation.
