Offering nuanced portraits of women s lives inside razor wire and
prison walls, Razor Wire Women puts incarcerated women in dialogue
with scholars, artists, educators and activists who live outside of
prisons but work on issues connected to the prison industrial
complex. Women make up the fastest-growing group of the U.S. prison
population, yet prison scholarship largely overlooks the struggles
of incarcerated women, and their voices are often silenced both in
and out of the prison infrastructure. From the vantage points of
those both inside and outside of prisons, this collection of essays
and art illuminates many of the distinct experiences and concerns
of incarcerated women, including those of girls in prison, abuse
and rape, the policing of women, incarcerated motherhood, mental
health issues in prisons, incarcerated women s artistic and
cultural production, and prisons impact on families, health, and
sexuality. Combining the transcendence, hope and clarity of art
with powerful analytical and conceptual tools, Razor Wire Women
reveals the gendered dimensions of the incarceration now
experienced by a growing number of women in the U.S.
