The first female inmates arrived on January 24, 1934. Before this date, maximum security female offenders were housed in the Female Department of the maximum security Kingston Penitentiary located across the street.

The Prison for Women was closed following a number of controversial incidents. LSD was administered to inmates at the prison as part of tests that are today considered to be ethically dubious.

As well, a riot at the prison in 1994 resulted in Justice Louise Arbour, then of the Ontario Court of Appeal heading up what became known as the Commission of Inquiry into Certain Events at the Prison for Women which found that the treatment of prisoners at the facility had been "cruel, inhumane and degrading".

Routinely overclassified in their security category, Indigenous inmates constituted a considerable proportion of the inmate population and reported particularly violent treatment by prison staff.

Beginning in 1995, female inmates were gradually transferred to other federal correctional institutions.

On May 8, 2000, the last female inmate was transferred away from the P4W.

In January 2008, Queen's University took ownership of the former site of the Prison for Women. The property is 8.1 acres in size.

The university archives were originally slated to be housed there once renovations were completed, but this is no longer the case.
