Abstract: Imprisoned women are different from normal women in terms of mental health in a way that imprisoned women are not in good conditions in this regard. Given the fact that studies show that imprisoned women in comparison to their men peers suffer more from personality disorders and mental diseases especially depression and with regard to the critical role of spiritual intelligence, the present study aimed to analyze the extent of spiritual intelligence among imprisoned women of Zahedan. A sample of 70 volunteering women, obtained at the women ward of Zahedan prison, participated in this study. The king’s spiritual intelligence and WHOQOL-BREF were used to measure spiritual intelligence and quality of life of participants. Our results indicated a positive relation between spiritual intelligence and quality of life. Moreover in average all participants used to show low degree of spiritual intelligence and quality of life.
