Download or read book Experiencing Service learning in Prison written by Julie G. Kopet and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of incarcerated women who participated in a service-learning program to help the homeless. Service-learning is effective pedagogy for involving students in civic engagement, and their involvement has been shown to increase the self-esteem of participating college students. This study looked for similar impacts on incarcerated women. This study used three data collection methods with an existing service-learning program in Coffee Creek Woman's Correctional Facility to look at the essence of incarcerated women's shared experience of being in prison and participating in a service-learning program. Three research questions were the basis for the study: (a) What are the lived experiences of incarcerated women participating in the Coffee Creek Sock Drive? (b) How did their attitudes and perceptions of the homeless, volunteer work, or program involvement change because of their participation? (c) In what ways, if any, did the incarcerated women's perceptions of themselves change? How do they perceive themselves as a result of participating in this program? Did they experience any shift in self-esteem? The data revealed seven predominant themes. These themes were: 1. Civic engagement and connection to the community a. Frustration with the government's lack of help for the homeless 2. Increased knowledge about the topic of homelessness and the four agency partners that led to a shift in attitude about the homeless 3. Gratitude for what they have 4. Pride in being able to give back to the community/Public perception 5. Sadness and empathy for the homeless 6. Personal growth through self-reflection 7. Enjoyment and excitement The themes were interpreted and supported by the related literature. The three research questions were also considered with related literature. This study gave voice to the incarcerated women who participated and supported their ability to contribute to the literature. The implications of this study may impact future service-learning programs for students in nontraditional education facilities. It may inform correctional facilities' educational programs as well as established service-learning programs.

Download or read book Healthcare Encounters of Formerly Incarcerated Women written by Karen Sue Hoyt and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adult correctional population in the United States soared to nearly 7 million people (Bureau of Justice Statistics [BJS], 2005). Over 2 million individuals were housed in prisons or jails in the United States. Nearly 7 percent (6.9%) were women (BJS, 2005). Recent trends in the adult correctional population suggest that there has been a stark increase in the number of formerly incarcerated women in the United States. The purpose of this research was to explore how formerly incarcerated women perceived their healthcare encounters. The aims of this study were to answer the following questions. How did formerly incarcerated women perceive healthcare encounters? How did they describe difficult healthcare encounters? How did they describe successful healthcare encounters? What did they suggest to improve healthcare encounters? A grounded theory method was used. The study consisted of interviews with 16 formerly incarcerated women at two different sites. Perspectives on healthcare encounters by formerly incarcerated women were explored utilizing a combination of individual and focus groups interviews. Findings revealed the core category of an action/process during encounters of "going back-and-forth" within the context of a fragmented healthcare system. Participants sought care for multiple health problems. They often lacked money, health insurance, literacy, and knowledge. These problems prevented them from achieving successful healthcare encounters where their needs would be met. Other barriers to successful encounters were a lack of disclosure and stigmatization that sometimes led to feelings of shame and poor self-esteem. When helpful others such as friends, nurses, and/or caring providers were present, the participants experienced successful healthcare encounters where their needs were met. The findings also revealed that some women, through persistence, realized positive encounters even when no helpful others and/or caring providers were there to assist them. This study was important because it generated a substantive explanation regarding the perspectives on healthcare encounters by formerly incarcerated women. This study has the potential for developing new knowledge to inform nursing. This research also affords healthcare providers an opportunity to improve the healthcare of formerly incarcerated women and their families.

Download or read book Settlers of the American West written by Mary Ellen Snodgrass and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depictions of the American west in literature, art and film perpetuate romantic stereotypes of the pioneers--the gold-crazed '49er, the intrepid sodbuster. While ennobling the woodsman, the farmwife and the lawman, this tunnel vision of American history has shortchanged the whaler, the assayer, the innkeeper and the inventor. The westward advance of the trailblazers created demand for a gamut of unsung adventurers--surveyors, financiers, politicians, surgeons, entertainers, grocers and midwives--who built communities and businesses in the wilderness amid clashes with Indians, epidemics, floods, droughts and outlawry. Chronicling the worthy deeds, ethnicities, languages and lifestyles of ordinary people who survived a stirring period in American history, this book provides biographical information for hundreds of individual pioneers on the North American frontier, from the Mississippi River Valley as far west as Alaska. Appendices list pioneers by state or country of departure, destination, ethnicity, religion and occupation. A chronology of pioneer achievements places them in perspective.

Download or read book Golden Gulag written by Ruth Wilson Gilmore and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-01-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1980, the number of people in U.S. prisons has increased more than 450%. Despite a crime rate that has been falling steadily for decades, California has led the way in this explosion, with what a state analyst called "the biggest prison building project in the history of the world." Golden Gulag provides the first detailed explanation for that buildup by looking at how political and economic forces, ranging from global to local, conjoined to produce the prison boom. In an informed and impassioned account, Ruth Wilson Gilmore examines this issue through statewide, rural, and urban perspectives to explain how the expansion developed from surpluses of finance capital, labor, land, and state capacity. Detailing crises that hit California’s economy with particular ferocity, she argues that defeats of radical struggles, weakening of labor, and shifting patterns of capital investment have been key conditions for prison growth. The results—a vast and expensive prison system, a huge number of incarcerated young people of color, and the increase in punitive justice such as the "three strikes" law—pose profound and troubling questions for the future of California, the United States, and the world. Golden Gulag provides a rich context for this complex dilemma, and at the same time challenges many cherished assumptions about who benefits and who suffers from the state’s commitment to prison expansion.
