RT Book T1 Life on the outside: women's experiences after leaving provincial prison T2 Palgrave Pivot A1 Sheppard, Amy LA English PP Cham, Switzerland PB palgrave macmillan YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/190533981X AB "This book seeks to understand how women's experiences both within and outside prisons shape their ability to engage in crime-free living after the experience of prison. It uses women's stories to examine their cognitive shifts toward desistance as well as the structural services that may help with the desistance process. It also examines the impacts of addiction and stigma on the desistance processes and develops the theories of desistance. Written by a practitioner, this book includes the voices of service providers who are rarely heard from to provide unique insight into how criminalized women's desistance processes can be supported. It offers intersectional, feminist perspectives and anti-carceral/ abolitionist perspectives." -- NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN HV9275 SN 9783031638169 K1 Women ex-convicts : Social conditions K1 Women ex-convicts : Services for K1 Women Prisoners K1 Strafvollzug : Justizvollzugsanstalt : Weibliche Gefangene : Drogenabhängigkeit : Desistance : Reintegration
