- Description
- This paper examines litigation involving the privacy rights of inmates and the employment rights of male and female correctional officers. It asks whether judges reinforced gender stereotypes, whether victories for women were contingent upon their status as inmates or correctional officers, and whether victories were the same for women as for men. By analyzing the cases in the context of the gendered dimensions of prisons, the paper shows how gender meanings are embedded in these privacy-equal employment disputes.
