FOR RELEASE WITH FEATURE BC-ROMANIA-PRISONS - Romanian women convicts look out from behind bars at the Tirgsor jail, 70 km (45 miles) north of Bucharest. The Tirgsor facility is Romania's only jail where women are detained. Up to 1,000 women are serving various jail terms at Tirgsor, where overcrowding is less severe than in other jails around the Balkan country, which caused convicts to riot last year.
