Women, Reentry and Employment: Criminalized and Employable?
explores the conflicting discourses about employment for women who
are exiting prison. It empirically outlines the landscape of
employability supports available to reentering women, the 'steps to
employment' women are directed to follow, and the barriers to
employment they face and theoretically explores the subject
positions of criminalized and employable women. This book offers a
contemporary contribution to the scholarship of the past three
decades that has queried, monitored, and challenged practices and
policies relating to women's corrections in Canada. Based on data
gathered about community-based employment supports available to
reentering women in Ontario, Canada, exploring how language
constructs the subject positions of criminalized and employable
women, and bringing into conversation the extensive body of work
about women's employment and employability and reintegration, the
book marks a unique but important intersection of these empirical
and theoretical domains. Central to the book is the juxtaposition
of two key subject positions mobilized in women's corrections. One
is that of the criminalized woman, a subject whose experiences of
trauma and marginalization have rendered her emotionally and
mentally broken; she is constrained by her past and incapable of
acting towards her future. The other subject position is that of
the employable woman who is future oriented, confident, and
'responsible' for her own socio-economic inclusion. How do
reentering women experience, inhabit, and resist these incompatible
subject positions? Challenging the invisibilization of women's
experiences in the criminal justice system, Women, Reentry and
Employment will be of great interest to students and scholars of
Criminology, Penology, and Women's Studies.
