Female prisoners are likely to experience psychological problems, especially related to self-image such as loss of identity and personality, loss of self-control, difficulty adjusting, having low self-esteem, difficult to accept the present situation, reduced self-confidence and a high sense of despair. Self image will have an impact on the formation of personality and wrong development of female prisoners. Therefore, intervention and counseling service interventions are needed to improve the self image experienced by female prisoners. This study aims to examine the self-image of female prisoners, and the role of counselors in helping to improve the self-image. The research method used was a literature study of the dimensions of self-image in female prisoners associated with the guidance and counseling service interventions. Discussion and implications are discussed further.
