The Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) is a women's prison located in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines. The prison is operated by the Bureau of Corrections.
The prison first opened on a 18-hectare (44-acre) property on February 14, 1931. Previously women were held at the Old Bilibid Prison.
When the Philippines had the death penalty, female inmates condemned to death were held at CIW.
