This paper examines the prison experiences of women during the Nazi regime and how women are subjected to torture and abuse. The backgrounds of the female prisoners vary, but they all suffer discrimination and dehumanization. This is not limited to prison life, but extends across societies, more specifically patriarchal societies. This research also analyses Luise Rinser prison diary (2010), which describes the systematic humiliation of women during the National Socialist regime. This work examines various questions. First, it discusses what prison literature is and how literature reflects the problems of women's prison experiences. It also analyses the philosophical concept of "the docile body" by Michel Foucault, which examines how the human body is turned into a machine and how discipline in this way produces subjugated and trained, docile bodies. Another focus is on the question of the extent to which women in prison are exposed to violence and humiliation and whether violence against women is limited to life in prison. Finally, it discusses which mechanisms of the exercise of power are expressed in Rinser's prison diary. The results revealed that not all imprisonment takes place behind bars and not all chains are made of steel. The restriction of personal freedom can have a similarly drastic effect as the restriction of freedom of movement through physical barriers.
