Aside from capital punishment, incarceration represents the most
severe and most costly punishment that state governments can
administer to its citizens. The use of incarceration has garnered
increasing attention over the years, particularly in the United
States where incarcerated populations have undergone approximately
forty years of nearly continuous growth. In examining the
differences in prisonization and survival strategies between the
sexes, research has found that male inmates often enlist gang
members for protection, while women recreate family for emotional
support. This book examines the conventional identities of both
sexes behind the walls of imprisonment, and global trends in
incarceration. The book also contributes to the discussion on the
education of women in situations of deprivation of liberty and
provides an in-depth investigation of reform through interpreting
how a selected group of men who have desisted from heroin-use
understand and present their change process. Finally, this book
discusses the psychological implications of being incarcerated and
the patterns and prospects of imprisonment.
