註釋Based on interviews with nearly 1,000 female inmates and prison officials, the author examines the inequitable treatment of women in prison and gives female inmates the opportunity to describe their lives in and out of the ‘concrete womb’ of prison. She points out that the criminal justice system is inclined more than ever to sentence women to prison and keep them there for longer periods of time. The cost-effectiveness of imprisonment for female inmates is discussed, and the treatment of women in the prison setting is criticized. An appendix contains inmate rules and regulations at the Cook County Jail in Chicago.
