Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few empirical studies have focused on women in prison. In the last few years, though, a number of studies have demonstrated that there are fundamental differences between male and female prisoners in an ever-changing penal system. Consequently, there has been a need for more comprehensive studies of female offenders for three primary reasons: (1) imperative research gaps remain to be bridged; (2) the female prison experience is not constant; and (3) prison rates for female offenders, especially minority offenders, have increased considerably in the last few years. A central goal of this book, then, is to provide a balance to the existing literature and research on female prisoners in the United States and, to an extent, abroad, focusing primarily on female offenders and using data gathered from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. The book utilizes a comprehensive investigative approach by equating the experience of female offenders by the totality of circumstances within an historical, institutional, political, and ideological context. The critical objective is to offer an inclusive analysis of the things that are considered by female inmates to be the most significant before, during, and after their incarceration, as a way of better understanding the reasons that lead to their first incarceration as well as subsequent incarcerations. By reading this book, the reader will have a greater understanding of the many challenges facing female inmates, as well as the relationship between inmates, correctional officers and, by extension, society in general. Also provided is a series of policy recommendations throughout the book, particularly in the concluding chapter and epilogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the influence that female correctional officers have on the security of an institution. Using data from the 2005 Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities, different tests were run to test my three hypotheses. First, I hypothesized that lower security-level institutions will employ a higher percent of female correctional officers. This hypothesis was not confirmed based on the data and tests run. My second hypothesis was institutions employing a greater percent of female correctional officers will have a higher disciplinary reporting rate than institutions employing a lower percent of female correctional officers. This hypothesis was supported by the data from the census and the tests run. Third, I hypothesized that the greater the percent of female correctional officers working in an institution, the more violence will be present in that facility. This hypothesis was not supported by the data. This research is important because more and more women are becoming correctional officers with many leading the way for new policies and training protocols. It is time research is done in this area of study to discern the influence, good and bad, females correctional officers have on the institutions in which they work and improve upon morale and training for all correctional officers in an institution.

Download or read book Women in Prison written by Barbara H. Zaitzow and published by Lynne Rienner Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is old news that the conditions and policies of women's prisons are different from those for incarcerated men. Less evident, however, is how gender differences shape those policies, and how gender identity and roles shape women's adaptation and resistance to prison culture and control. The papers in this collection explore how the gender-based attitudes that women bring to prison frame how they respond to the prison environment -- and how gender stereotypes continue to affect the treatment and opportunities of incarcerated women today. It looks particularly at how the personal and social problems imported into the prison setting become part of the intricate web of prison culture and how extensively women's prison experience reflects the control and domination they experienced in the outside world.

Download or read book At Work in the Iron Cage written by Dana M. Britton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2003-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most people think of prisons, they imagine chaos, violence, and fundamentally, an atmosphere of overwhelming brute masculinity. But real prisons rarely fit the “Big House” stereotype of popular film and literature. One fifth of all correctional officers are women, and the rate at which women are imprisoned is growing faster than that of men. Yet, despite increasing numbers of women prisoners and officers, ideas about prison life and prison work are sill dominated by an exaggerated image of men’s prisons where inmates supposedly struggle for physical dominance. In a rare comparative analysis of men’s and women’s prisons, Dana Britton identifies the factors that influence the gendering of the American workplace, a process that often leaves women in lower-paying jobs with less prestige and responsibility. In interviews with dozens of male and female officers in five prisons, Britton explains how gender shapes their day-to-day work experiences. Combining criminology, penology, and feminist theory, she offers a radical new argument for the persistence of gender inequality in prisons and other organizations. At Work in the Iron Cage demonstrates the importance of the prison as a site of gender relations as well as social control.
