Sumario:This article consists of two studies comparing female offenders’ and non-offenders’ wellbeing and sense of coherence.

In Study 2, the sense of coherence was measured. The results indicated that when education and age are included in the analysis, the coherence levels did not differentiate inmates from non-inmates.
