Prison is unquestionably one of the most sex-segregated of all
social institutions. From the first incarnations of the carceral
project more than two centuries ago, reformers and penologists
earnestly turned their attention to the construction of 'Christian
gentlemen' and 'respectable ladies'. Vestiges of these projects
remain to the present day, though often in radically different
forms. Academic work exploring the construction of prison related
gender has been a relatively recent development within the last
quarter century. Included in this volume are twenty-two key
articles exploring prison history, the state and gendered social
control, gender and work in prisons and the gendered experience of
incarceration. The introductory essay places these areas in the
context both of more conventional sociologies of gender
(highlighting both masculinities and femininities) and traditional
scholarship on the prison, arguing for a return of this
increasingly important social institution from the instrumentalist
domains of criminal justice to the heart of sociological theorizing
on topics of gender and social control.
