Data collection was done using semi-structured interview until theoretical data saturation and focus group; whose data was analyzed using thematic analysis. From the findings of the research, 364 concepts were extracted in the field of educational components. After combining common concepts through central and selective coding and classification of themes, the resulting educational content model has 56 dimensions (self-awareness, social skills, health and safety, familiarity with prison, legal and educational information, knowledge and attitude), 109 components. life skills, communication skills, role expectations, health and treatment, mental health, life in prison, women's special injuries, judicial and cultural-educational legal knowledge) and 91 sub-components.
