Summary: When Concepción Arenal is studied, she is almost always linked to Criminal Law, prisons and prisoners. She became more renown, crossed over the Spanish borders and went straight to the top as a criminal lawyer, a prison reformer and an expert in the psychology of prisoners and their social environment. Her personality was so versatile that she did not leave any subject unanalyzed, or any social problem uncovered. It can be said that, in the 19th century, Concepción Arenal, with her intelligence and her pen, enlightened the darkest corners where injustice, poverty, violence, tyranny, discrimination, class and gender privileges were hiding, while most importantly condemning the inhumane situation of prisoners.
