Female prisoners are special communities that are vulnerable to a decline in self-esteem. The purpose of this study is to describe the self-esteem of female prisoners in Semarang female prisons.

The results showed that the most women prisoners' self-esteem were moderate self-esteem (81.0%), high self-esteem (16.5%), and low self-esteem (2.5%).
