520 |a With the growth of female corrections executives, further study regarding their experiences in the upper ranks is needed. This study, based on quantitative and qualitative data through firsthand accounts and survey analysis, examined women’s own and others’ perceptions of the women’s experiences as corrections executives. Participants completed a study-designed questionnaire and individual structured interviews. Despite the field’s male dominance, women found acceptance of their leadership positions among corrections staff. Results indicated that despite instances of gender bias, most departments and their staff members were supportive of women leaders and perceived them to be as capable and as effective as their male counterparts. The study raised an important issue for institutional corrections as to whether the presence of higher-ranking women influences lower-ranking women to consider upward mobility in ways they might not if only men held these positions.
