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.”
