First published in 1983, Women's Imprisonment explores the meanings
of women's imprisonment and, in particular, the wider meanings of
the 'moment' of prison. Based on officially sponsored research in
Cornton Vale, Scotland's only women's prison, the book makes
extensive use of interviews with sheriffs, policemen, and social
workers, as well as observation in the prisons, the courts, and the
lodging-houses. The author quotes from interviews with women
recidivist prisoners, the judges who send them to prison, and the
agencies which assist them in between their periods of
imprisonment. In doing so, questions are raised about the meanings
of imprisonment and the penal disciplining of women at the time of
original publication. The book also examines the changing and
various meanings of imprisonment in general and the invisible
nature of the social control of women in particular.
