Book excerpt: This edited volume presents research about life in prison for women, discussing both incarcerated women and those working in prisons. It addresses women’s paths through the criminal justice system from sentencing through post-incarceration and reintegration into society, highlighting the differences in women's experience of prison compared to their male counterparts and noting both the positive and negative changes implemented for women behind bars. Covering research on stigma, pop culture, motherhood, sexuality and gender, access to healthcare, vocational training, and educational opportunities, this text takes both a local and international view. Women and Prison is a comprehensive volume suitable for criminal justice researchers, mental health professionals, students of criminology, women's studies, sociology and those seeking a career in corrections.

Book excerpt: When most people think of prisons, they imagine chaos, violence, and fundamentally, an atmosphere of overwhelming brute masculinity. But real prisons rarely fit the “Big House” stereotype of popular film and literature. One fifth of all correctional officers are women, and the rate at which women are imprisoned is growing faster than that of men. Yet, despite increasing numbers of women prisoners and officers, ideas about prison life and prison work are sill dominated by an exaggerated image of men’s prisons where inmates supposedly struggle for physical dominance. In a rare comparative analysis of men’s and women’s prisons, Dana Britton identifies the factors that influence the gendering of the American workplace, a process that often leaves women in lower-paying jobs with less prestige and responsibility. In interviews with dozens of male and female officers in five prisons, Britton explains how gender shapes their day-to-day work experiences. Combining criminology, penology, and feminist theory, she offers a radical new argument for the persistence of gender inequality in prisons and other organizations. At Work in the Iron Cage demonstrates the importance of the prison as a site of gender relations as well as social control.

Book excerpt: When you work as a correctional officer in a maximum-security prison, you run the risk of death every day. You can feel the evil all around. When those gates close behind you, you don't know if you are going to walk out alive at the end of your shift. You learn to really value and appreciate every single second that you have. *** Gina Marie Rivera has had to literally learn to fight to survive, not because she wanted to, but because she had to. Rivera grew up the victim of sex abuse from a family member. When she was eleven, she vowed "No more!" and fought back using only her bare hands as weapons. She fought so hard that her would-be attacker left her alone. Gina never realized that she would have to fight for her life yet another time. She fought off not only one inmate, but two! Gina saved her life and the life of her male partner, her coworker. *** Gina is a retired correctional officer who worked in one of the most notorious all-male prisons in Southern California. She is excited to share with you her new book, A Woman in a Man's World, and hopes to empower, motivate, and inspire women everywhere, especially her fellow sisters and brothers in green and in law enforcement.

This book was released on 2013-12-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich examination of the neglect and abuses occurring to women in correctional facilities, Women, Incarceration, and Human Rights Violations draws upon a wealth of case studies from around the world and class action lawsuits to shed light on ‘covert’ abuse such as sexual or physical abuse, as well as ‘overt’ abuse such as the denial of medical treatment. Adopting a feminist framework, this book offers a comparative evaluation of abuse in domestic and international correctional facilities, demonstrating the extent to which women are at high risk of being sexually abused and re-victimized in the correctional system, where pregnancy and other specific medical and health issues are consistently ignored. Calling attention to the necessity of addressing the gender-specific needs of women who are incarcerated, Women, Incarceration, and Human Rights Violations offers a review of current policy, laws, and regulation bearing on the issue, while providing concrete recommendations and policy changes to address abuses. As such it will appeal to sociologists, criminologists, and policymakers concerned with questions of gender, penology, and institutional abuse.
