In their journeys to prison and community re-entry, women leaving
prison tend to share overarching challenges connected to lives of
poverty, trauma, and abuse. Community Re-Entry: Uncertain Futures
for Women Leaving Prison provides a rare opportunity to hear
directly from women who have spent time in a Canadian federal
penitentiary. Based on more than a decade of engagement with women
in prison, the authors gathered rich and personal information on
women's lived experiences during incarceration and what they
anticipated and hoped for on release. This book relates their
narratives and the authors' critical analysis of their experiences
both within and outside prison. By bridging relational and other
critical theories (critical feminist, critical race, critical
disability, and post-structural understandings) with lived
experience, this volume sheds light on the challenges incarcerated
women face as they seek to return to the community as valued and
contributing citizens. Community Re-Entry's unique perspective on
women's post-imprisonment policy will appeal to academics,
community-based advocates and activists, and undergraduate and
postgraduate students studying criminology and social science
courses on gender and crime, correctional policy, and qualitative
research methods.
