Secondly, it traces the emergence of ideal-typical sites of negotiation and contestation between women political prisoners and the authorities. Thirdly, it utilizes feminist critiques of contemporary penal governmentalities to identify the formation of politico-gendered penal controls, concluding with summary of the era's punitive excesses with respect to women prisoners K1 Soziale Konstruktion K1 Politische Gefangene K1 Nordirland K1 Geschlecht K1 Punitivität K1 Frieden K1 Haftentlassung K1 Wiedereingliederung
