The authors integrate their quantitative findings with the voices of individual inmates to explore essential concerns such as health, inmate and family relationships, prison adjustment, and end-of-life issues. They also consider the enduring impact of intimate partner violence. While painting a vivid portrait of struggles to build lives behind bars, the authors share critical insights into the social forces that shape women's contact with all stages of the criminal justice system UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781588269447 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781588269447 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781588269447/original ER -
