The problem is that the prisoners would have been forcefully inseminated (by technological mumbo jumbo from the medical station, I'm not including direct rape in this). That's the origin of the sexism in this society and why the lowest class (inmates) are seen as nothing more then tools to an end.

Oh and this is a fairly high tech society so robots and other automatic weapons are what do/did most of the policing.

You still run into problems there, as if the population is that high to start with, while, yes, one would need to start reproduction, one doesn't want that much of a large perpetual underclass of breeder-slaves, one wants people who can contribute more than just breeding and so you'd either need a larger slave caste including male workers or you'd need to acknowledge that the breeder-slave caste would by necessity have to be phased out once you had enough people to actually have a society.

And if they're mechanized then they have no incentive to keep slaves alive for the purpose of breeding alone and there's no task that you'd want an exclusively female population for aside from breeding but you don't need that high of a population if you have the resources and tech to do robo-cops.

TL;DR I feel you need to seriously rethink your premise because it does not seem to hold up very well at all.
