Motherhood In and After Prison - The Impact of Maternal Incarceration (Paperback)

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.' (Melanie)
