Motherhood In and After Prison describes the devastating impact of
sending mothers to prison, including on the women, their children,
wider family and place in society. Using the same lens as for her
acclaimed Mothering Justice (Waterside Press, 2015) and with
special access to incarcerated mothers, Lucy Baldwin combines her
vast experience of criminal and social justice with their own words
to: Introduce readers to the lives of imprisoned women; Describe
how before, during and after prison they were treated differently,
their maternal identity and role was ‘spoiled’ and they needed
to continually ‘renegotiate motherhood’; Draw out key themes
from her own findings and what was previously known about the
imprisonment of women; Put forward recommendations for positive
change. The book will be of interest to a national and
international readership of policymakers, educators, practitioners,
feminists, and women’s groups. Extract: 'I don't have much
contact with my daughter, my ex has her whilst I'm in here and he
don't want me to have contact with her, it's just an excuse to
punish me and control me like he always does. He don't care that it
punishes her too. God knows what he's saying to her about me.'
