Need to know for reference

OK can anyone who has seen Batman Begins more than once (i.e not me) tell me if Arkham was depicted as being co-ed? I can't think of a better word :P From what little I remember it was more of a male only prison with a hospital & psych ward. I know in the comics & cartoon the ladies are kept (for the most part) on their own side but uh some help is

Oy, the problem with Arkham in the Nolanverse is that it's depicted as this kind of combo prison/asylum thing, which doesn't really exist.
Most criminal psychiatric facilities are co-ed as you say, but they're separated and there is usually no interaction between men and women.
I would assume the same in Nolanverse!Arkham, though I like in the comics that the whole Gallery is together, personally.

I think in this one you can go any way you want, because Nolan really doesn't give enough info.

I checked the DVD, no women were depicted as inmates during the Arkham and riot scenes, but I think you can take a creative licence on this one.

It actually works in my favor if there was no women - thanks for confirming!

Wildly off topic, but Arkham is one of the few things to have left me disappointed with Nolan Batmans. I know it's asking a lot to keep its creepy-mansion-feel and at the same time fit into Nolan's Gotham, but. Arkham's my favorite. :(

You know I was very disappointed to not see Joker getting hauled off to Arkham or just acknowledged that he is there - that kind of ticked me off about the end of The Dark Knight.

I like the estate they used as Arkham but I don't agree it should be city center.
