Getting Wrecked provides a rich ethnographic account of women
battling addiction as they cycle through jail, prison, and
community treatment programs in Massachusetts. As incarceration has
become a predominant American social policy for managing the
problem of drug use, including the opioid epidemic, this book
examines how prisons and jails have attempted concurrent programs
of punishment and treatment to deal with inmates struggling with a
diagnosis of substance use disorder. An addiction physician and
medical anthropologist, Kimberly Sue powerfully illustrates the
impacts of incarceration on women's lives as they seek well-being
and better health while confronting lives marked by structural
violence, gender inequity, and ongoing trauma.
