The final chapter delves into the gendered experiences of imprisonment in colonial Bengal. It examines how their identity as a woman shaped their subjugation within the penal system. Although women comprised a smaller prison population, primarily from marginalized social strata and often serving short sentences, they became a focal point for colonial authority to assert dominance. The colonial prison served as a site for enforcing moral discipline, subjecting lower-class women to both colonial and societal domination. However, the imprisonment of politically active women revolutionaries transformed this dynamic. Drawing on their accounts, the chapter highlights their experiences of pain, solidarity, adda (communal gatherings), and acts of resistance like hunger strikes, which disrupted the colonial prison’s hierarchical power structure. By contextualizing women’s experiences, the chapter argues that women prisoners remained an unresolved enigma for the colonial state, exposing the inherent limits of its despotic penal regime.
