Incarceration and Older Women

Giving Back Not Giving Up

Herausgeber: Easterling, Beth; Presser, Lois

Beschreibung

For the first time, this book offers qualitative research on the lives and social relationships of older imprisoned women. In-depth interviews with 29 female prisoners in the south-eastern United States show that older women both engage in generative behaviours, or 'giving back', in prison and also wish to do so upon their release.
