Summary:"Women in Prison explores how the gender-based attitudes that women bring to prison frame how they respond to the prison environment - and how gender stereotypes continue to affect the treatment and opportunities of incarcerated women today."

Their study reveals just how extensively women's prison experience reflects the control and domination they experienced in the outside world."--BOOK JACKET
