Literacy Experiences of Formerly Incarcerated Women: Sentences and
Sponsors focuses on a narrative research study of the literacy
experiences of formerly incarcerated women and how these
experiences have affected their lives, both while incarcerated and
while transitioning back into society. Using Deborah Brandt's
theory of literacy sponsorship (1998), Melanie N. Burdick explores
the mass incarceration of women, and their access to literacy and
higher education while incarcerated, as feminist and social justice
issues. Although discussions of reading and writing as a part of
correctional education are often romanticized, offering views of
incarcerated people who become enlightened and reformed, Burdick
identifies these romanticizes views and criticizes their
controlling and harmful effects. This book shines a light on the
personal and political ramifications of literacy experiences in
women's lives as they grow up in families and schools, move through
the prison system, and transition back into society and higher
education, arguing that literacy is politically situated and that
transitioning out of prison is a complex process marked by literate
acts that are dependent upon literacy sponsorship.
