Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The number of women in United States prisons has increased dramatically since the 1980s, and has in proportion outpaced that of mens incarceration. Despite these numbers, incarcerated women, and women lifers specifically, represent a relatively small percentage of the overall correctional and lifer populations. As such, women lifers are easy to overlook, discount, and diminish as such a small group. Many women lifers perceive themselves as a forgotten group; most often those whom we lock up and throw away the key. They feel excluded from prison programming within and from their own families outside. They feel stigmatized by staff and other women in prison. Aging fast, many have real fears about declining health and losing family members over lengthy stretches of time. However, women lifers are some of the most resilient and strongest women who survive life in prison with the support of each other and religious faith, often transforming themselves in the process of doing time. While most of the women had extensive histories of trauma, abuse, and mental health issues, few had prior experience as offenders. Despite the term lifer, many of these women will be released from prison after serving long sentences. Beyond this basic profile, there is much more to learn and share about the lives of women lifers. Focusing on womens pathways into prison, the ways they cope with life behind bars, and their diverse reentry needs, Meredith Dye and Ronald Aday give voice to women lifers and place their experiences within the larger context of penal harm policies. The authors look at their physical and mental health, family connections, adjustment to prison, prison supports and activities, and experiences with abuse/trauma; while also looking at the growing public and policy concerns over mass incarceration in general. Women Lifers provides insight into the lives of incarcerated women before, during, and following a life sentence, especially the population of those serving life sentences. With the growing numbers of women lifers in the United States, the authors emphasize the importance for the public and policymakers to understand the unique circumstances that brought these women to prison, the policies that keep them there, and the major challenges they face in carving out a successful life in prison and beyond. Women Lifers brings to light the pressing need for gender-responsive policies in correctional systems in the United States by tracing womens lives before, during, and following a life sentence.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Mercy Denied is the life story of 79-year-old Judy Luna Holbird who has served 38 years of a 166 sentence in the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Relying on an open dialogue and twenty years of prison correspondence, we describe how historical and current social forces shaped her life experiences. Judy guides us through not only her captivating four-decade backstory, but the realities of a lengthy prison life. With resolution, this great-great grandmother takes us to the darkest and most painful periods of her life. The painstaking account of her life struggles evokes strong emotions as she shares her family sorrows, social injustices, creative coping strategies, and vanishing dreams in her pursuit for freedom. You will be inspired by this woman of faith and her undeniable resilience, keen intellectual spirit and love for her family as well as her reliance on country music and gospel hymns to bring back joyful memories during her most difficult days of grief and regret. Judy is hopeful that her story, which once heard is so hard to unsee, will serve as a beacon of light for the many other women who are also holding on to a small glimmer of hope for mercy and a second chance for freedom.…
