"Merry Morash, a scholar long focused on efforts to make the criminal system more gender responsive, shows that this is hard work. Speaking directly to women who have experienced correctional supervision, she powerfully documents how the punitive nature of neoliberal policies undermines even earnest efforts of probation and parole agents to address women's unique needs."--Meda Chesney-Lind, author of The Female Offender: Girls, Women, and Crime "In a Box provides much-needed scholarship about women on probation and parole with an incredibly comprehensive dive into their lives and the often-insurmountable quagmires they encounter due to judicial practices, welfare cuts, and lack of access to needed services. The six women who constitute the bulk of the qualitative analyses are portrayed with great care, insight, and dignity."--Joanne Belknap, author of The Invisible Woman: Gender, Crime, and Justice "Compelling and sensitively told, In a Box offers an original and timely perspective on community supervision and its impact on justice-involved women. Policymakers, students, and academics alike will find much of value in Merry Morash's deeply researched, nuanced book."--Jayne Mooney, author of The Theoretical Foundations of Criminology: Place, Time, and Context "Drawing on extensive research, this rich and insightful work casts a much-needed critical eye on the obstacles placed in the paths of system-impacted women even as they attempt to escape criminalization."--Vera Lopez, author of Complicated Lives: Girls, Parents, Drugs, and Juvenile Justice
