In Search of Safety takes a close look at the sources of gendered
violence and conflict in women's prisons. The authors examine how
intersectional inequalities and cumulative disadvantages are at the
root of prison conflict and violence and mirror the women's
pathways to prison. Women must negotiate these inequities by
developing forms of prison capital-social, human, cultural,
emotional, and economic-to ensure their safety while inside. The
authors also analyze how conflict and subsequent violence result
from human-rights violations inside the prison that occur within
the gendered context of substandard prison conditions, inequalities
of capital among those imprisoned, and relationships with
correctional staff. In Search of Safety proposes a way forward-the
implementation of international human-rights standards for U.S.
prisons.
