FROM THE FOREWORD: “…From this analysis, several important findings are evident, including: the existence of competing paradigms in research on women offenders; the possibility that women suffer more in prison than men, despite the appearance of "softer" treatment; the inappropriateness of using programs designed for men in women's facilities; the likelthood that recent higher rates of female incarceration are due more to sentencing practices than increased levels of crime; the development of a unique subculture among women Inmates, and finally, the importance of children in the majority of women inmate's lives. Through her comprehensive review, PollockByrne has done an admirable job of clarifying these findings, and providing sensible altematives to a very complex set of circumstances. This work will provide valuable guidance to both students and practitioners in the development of future policles with respect to women's prisons and the treatment of women prisoners.”

FROM THE PREFACE:” This study began with our interest in gathering data on women in prison to see whether there were female prisoner types consistent with the reported characteristics of male prisoners. Early in the course of this study it became apparent that the most salient distinction to be made among the female inmates was between those who were and those who were not engaged in homosexual behavior in prison, and further, of those who were so involved, between the incumbents of "masculine" and "feminine" roles. Compared to the sociological literature on men's prisons, little is known about the social organization of the women's prison, and with the exception of the Gluecks' Five Hundred Delinquent Women, (1934), virtually no systematically collected empirical data on female prisoners have been published.”
