Bog beskrivelse
In the popular imagination, the female criminal/prisoner is a figure of curiosity and intrigue. Hidden behind male prisoners, partners in their lives and/or crimes, the female prisoner is made invisible, or she is memorialised a grotesque and demonic figure, one who has transgressed the legal, normative, and moral boundaries of social life. Women, Incarcerated pierces through this invisibilisation/memorialisation paradox to shine the spotlight squarely on the lived experiences of women prisoners. The book shows how the prison and the State act as extensions of the family and community in dealing with women seen as deviants. Through a focus on both the everyday and the extraordinary aspects of imprisoned women’s lives, the chapters narrate the experiences of exclusion, marginalisation, and violence in the lives of women prisoners. The book also highlights their negotiations with and resistance to penal power. The volume also initiates, for the first time, a dialogue between researchers, practitioners, and activists to raise some critical questions: How is the prison as an organisation gendered?
