This book highlights a neglected area in the field of
rehabilitation of female offenders with AIDS. It provides data to
show how women, working as HIV peer educators in prison, utilize
their peer experiences as a transition point for rehabilitation
both inside and outside of the penitentiary. HIV and prison are
inextricably linked and education has proved to be the one constant
that mitigates the spread of both HIV and crime. Research on female
inmates in general is not frequent and this book presents unique
qualitative data that includes rich accounts from the women
themselves. It illustrates the benefits derived by female inmates
who work in an HIV prison-based peer program, while adding to the
criminology literature on female patterns of criminality and
rehabilitation. It provides a greater understanding of how prison
programs affect the processes of criminal desistance and behavioral
changes for female inmates. Women involved in such programming are
able to change the criminal trajectory of their life direction.
contributing to reduced levels of recidivism and institutional
disciplinary infractions. The implications for these programs is
relevant within the broader perspective of women, HIV and
incarceration. "
