Women involved in the criminal justice system (WICJ) are at high risk of acquiring HIV and would benefit from HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) but there are no studies in this population to inform PrEP implementation programs. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of HIV-uninfected, cis-gender women on probation, parole and/or recently released from prison/jail to assess PrEP awareness, eligibility, potential barriers to uptake, and the PrEP care continuum. The 125 WICJ surveyed reported high rates of HIV risk behaviors including recent transactional sex (22.4%) and unsafe injection practices (14.4%). Despite 33% (n = 42) meeting eligibility criteria for PrEP, only 25% were aware of PrEP and one person was currently using it. Just 16.7% of those who were PrEP eligible perceived they were at risk for HIV. Following a brief explanation of PrEP, 90% said they would try it if recommended by their physician. Compared to those not PrEP eligible (n = 83), PrEP eligible women were less likely to be stably housed or have a primary care provider, and were more likely to be violence-exposed, charged with drug possession, have lifetime substance use, or living with Hepatitis C infection. WICJ frequently engage in HIV risk behaviors that make them eligible for PrEP. Uptake may be limited by lack of PrEP awareness or underestimation of personal HIV risk. WICJ report receptiveness to PrEP and represent an important population for targeted PrEP implementation programs
