From the Foreword by George Henderson: Perhaps nothing captures the
debilitating effects of sexism more vividly than [this] in-depth
study of women incarcerated in our correctional institutions.
Beneath the statistics lie a human tragedy of a magnitude most
people cannot fully comprehend. A disproportionate number of women
are wasting away in non-rehabilitative institutions that perpetuate
rather than correct criminal behaviors. The editors and
contributors to this book capture cogent slices of life of some of
the role players in the prison drama. And they do so with the
sensitive touch of social surgeons who carefully lift and examine
one layer of human behavior and then another. But they do not stop
there. They also examine some of the attitudes, beliefs, and values
of incarcerated women and their keepers (prison staff). The total
work is an insightful glimpse of a neglected subculture. One of the
unique features of the book is the diversity of the contributors in
terms of disciplines such as sociology, psychology, anthropology,
social work, communication, and organization and management.
Another feature that makes this work different is the multi-ethnic
and cross-cultural diversity of the contributors. Finally, there
are no other studies that look at women offenders holistically.
