Zusammenfassung:This article accounts for the official construction of women political prisoners as the intractable and problematic subjects of political decarceration in Northern Ireland. The discussion firstly locates the processes of penal normalization' in Northern Ireland in a hegemonic struggle which preceded the managerialist era usually associated with political decarceration.
