- Description
- This book is an analysis of the abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib based on first-hand participant-observations of the courts - martials of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harman. It examines the trials themselves, including interactions with soldiers and defense teams, documents pertaining to the courts-martials, US government reports and photographs from Abu Ghraib, in order to challenge the view that the abuses were carried out at the hands of a few rogue soldiers. With a keen focus on gender and sexuality as prominent aspects of the abuses themselves, as well as the ways in which they were portrayed and tried, the book engages with modern feminist thought and contemporary social theory in order to analyse the manner in which the abuses were framed, whilst also exploring the various lived realities of Abu Ghraib by both prisoners and soldiers alike.

- Description
- The Weathermen --a U.S.-based, revolutionary splinter group of Students for a Democratic Society-- advocated the overthrow of the government and capitalism, in the social and cultural environment of the New Left during the late 1960s. and toward that end, carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots throughout the United States. In With the Weathermen Stern traces her involvement with this group, and her transformation from a shy, married graduate student into a go-go dancing, drugs, sex, street-fighting 'macho mama.' She describes the attractions and difficulties of joining a collective radical group and in maintaining a position within it. Stern's memoir offers a description of the raw and rough social dynamics of this community, from its strict demands to 'smash monogamy,' to its sometimes enforced orgies, and to the demeaning character assassination that was led by the group's top members. She provides a distinctly personal and female perspective on the destructive social functionality and frequently contradictory attitudes toward gender roles and women's rights within the New Left.

- Description
- This exploratory study examined dimensions of staff-inmate sexual contact in a correctional facility in Hawaii through two focus group interviews with imprisoned women. The women described three types of sexual abuse in prison: 'trading,' 'love,' and 'in the line of duty.' Findings include the women's account of these forms of abuse and their perceptions of responsibility for staff-inmate sexual contact in correctional institutions. The women's beliefs about factors contributing to sexual abuse of female inmates, including job expectations of and power issues among adult correctional officers (ACO's), and the consequences of reporting abuse are also discussed. Given the vulnerability of female inmates and the power dynamics that typify the prison context, further research on this problem is warranted.

- In this publication, the author draws upon four years of on-the-ground research in a major US women's prison to uncover why tougher drug policies have so greatly affected those incarcerated there, and how the very nature of punishment in women's detention centers has been deeply altered as a result. Through interviews with prisoners and state personnel, she reveals that popular so-called ‘habilitation' drug treatment programs force women to accept a view of themselves as inherently damaged, aberrant addicts in order to secure an earlier release.

- Description
- This book puts incarcerated women in dialogue with scholars, artists, educators, and activists who live outside of prisons but work on issues connected to the prison industrial complex. Women make up the fastest-growing group within the U.S. prison population, yet prison scholarship largely overlooks the struggles of incarcerated women, and their voices are often silenced both in and out of the prison infrastructure. From the vantage points of those both inside and outside of prisons, this collection of essays and art illuminates many of the experiences and concerns of incarcerated women, including abuse and rape: the policing of women: incarcerated motherhood: mental health issues in prisons: incarcerated women’s artistic and cultural production: and prisons’ impact on families, health, and sexuality.

The results show that women are willing to discuss only physical ailments and are reluctant to speak about mental health care or HIV. While women benefit from health care services in prison, they still feel that a female-oriented approach to health care in general will improve the services.

- This collection brings together eleven essays--eight previously published and three new--that document the evolving relationship between academic feminism and political feminism as Freedman has studied and lived it. .Following an introduction that presents a map of the personal and intellectual trajectory of Freedman's work, the first section of essays, on the origins and strategies of women's activism in U.S. history, reiterates the importance of valuing women in a society that has long devalued their contributions. The second section, on the maintenance of sexual boundaries, explores the malleability of both sexual identities and sexual politics. Underlying the collection is an inquiry into the changing meanings of gender, sexuality, and politics during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries along with a concern for applying the insights of women's history broadly, from the classroom to the courthouse

- Description
- This book analyzes how reformers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries perceived delinquent girls and their often troubled lives. The author examines the cases of vulnerable young women to reveal the centrality of sex, class, gender, and disability in the formation of scientific and social reform. Rembis recounts the contestations between largely working-class teenage girls and the mostly female reformers and professionals who attempted to diagnose and treat them based on changing ideas of eugenics, gender, and impairment. He shows how generational roles and prevailing notions of gender and sexuality influenced reformers to restrict, control, and institutionalize undesirable 'defectives' within society, and he details the girls' attempts to influence methods of diagnosis, discipline, and reform.

They explore the punishment of queer expression, regardless of whether a crime was ever committed. The authors argue that the policing of sex and gender both bolsters and reinforces racial and gender inequalities.

The book reveals how a culture of intolerance and cruelty has left individuals at the mercy of the security services’ unverifiable accusations and punishment.

In dit boek volgt ze jarenlang vrouwen die hun lotverbinden met dat van terdoodveroordeelden in Texas: niet alleen de Nederlandse en andere trans-Atlantische 'dollies' in de goedkope motels rondom death row op het Texaanse platteland, maar ook de dames van Texas' eigen, piepkleine antidoodstrafbeweging en families die na de executie van man of vader achterblijven met de erfenis, vaak niet meer dan wat brieven en een tafelventilator. En ze ontmoet de terdoodveroordeelden zelf.

- Making use of the concept of side-bets this study examines the gendered nature of outside influences on correctional officers' commitment to remain with the prison organization until retirement. The findings suggest that some measures of side-bets function differently for male and female officers, with those side-bets representing family affiliation and financial responsibility significantly influencing female, but not male officers' level of continuance commitment.

- Description
- Using a sample of 29 female inmates over age 50 housed in a prison, this qualitative research identified how older female offenders adapt to prison life. Based on inmate narratives, the study focuses on how prison acquaintances are selected, the evolvement of a social support network characterized by perceived support, shared activities, shared conversations, and work and recreational interactions. Barriers that prevent inmates from providing mutual support and policy issues for responding to the social needs of women aging in prison are discussed.
