The article presents the emotional characteristics of women incarcerated by a legallyvalid court sentence in reference to their selected personality variables. In conducting the research, a group of female prisoners and a control group were diversified in reference to their empathic abilities and their intensity towards aggression and hostility. In the article the descriptive analysis was used in order to present the inter-group differences. In the study there were a total of 150 individual participants. Research results have shown that those who manifest criminal behavior are driven largely by their emotions, and their stimulation threshold is much lower than individuals with no criminal history. Women who are incarcerated are characterized as having a higher level of suspicion and negativity; while their aggression is based only on an emotional level. Furthermore their empathy is directed towards themselves, not towards others. The results obtained in the article may be utilized to adapt the process of rehabilitation of prisoners according to their personality traits.
